2. I also use headhunters

I figure - let the headhunters do all the legwork for me, that's what their commission is all about. I try to keep current with the headhunters (as in "don't forget about me!&quot , however, I still apply directly.

I would guess having a real person talk to the employer on your (our) behalf is better than writing a silly cover letter for your resume/CV. Who knows if anybody reads cover letters and resumes anymore, since computers do all the keyword searches now on employment sites.

My 2 cents...
