Resume - note the bullets come out that way when using open office and converting - I will make sure the bullets don't appear that way in the final release

Bruce Wayne:
Atrocious font. And wtf? clock-style bullet points? seriously?

Go to M&I ASAP and use Brian's template.

Thanks for your feedback on the font. I used it after having it recommended from other resume feedback.

The bullet point issue was already addressed in my original post.....

Consider improving the format/layout of your cover letter. I've included an example below. Please note - I'm not saying that you should use it as a template for the contents of your letter. Rather, just to get an idea of where to put addresses, the date, and so forth.
