I've had decent success being "old school" and snail-mailing cover letters and resumes. It really depends on the person and the company. Make sure you print both on nice paper.

Not sure what you mean about a cover letter difference though. Care to explain?

Silent GuardianAlso how does a printed cover letter differ from one that is e-mailed?

It doesn't?

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.

Should e-mails be shorter?

Id accusamus porro unde enim culpa non aliquid. Dolores ut dolorum cum tenetur aspernatur. Eveniet enim autem fugit architecto.
