At the very least s/he does not speak for everyone. Cover letters, like any prose the applicant generates specifically for the job file (teaching statements, I'm looking at you!) are cheap talk. I won't read more than a page and a half of the cover letter. After that I'm bored and on to the important stuff: vita, writing samples and recommendation letters. Spend the time to craft a good letter, but don't make it too long or you risk losing your audience. </p> http://www.poliscijobrumors.com/topic.php?id=25159#post-213966 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:27:31 +0000 Anonymous 213966@http://www.poliscijobrumors.com/ <p>Um, WTF?^ </p> http://www.poliscijobrumors.com/topic.php?id=22153&page=5#post-213965 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:22:42 +0000 Anonymous 213965@http://www.poliscijobrumors.com/ <p>Dunning is more than just a fad-y experiment guy.

Ideally, I shouldn't have had to put up with a bunch of jokers and liars for 150 posts, but that's the internet for you I guess. Still, it's kind of depressing that so many people aren't willing to use this website for it's intended purpose!</p> <p>Rosemary, if happen to find and read this thread, congrats!
