Resume question . . .

So I have a lead on a job. My best friend from home's husband  e-mailed me that there was a position opening up at his company that he thinks I'd be perfect for. I read the job description and the position falls perfectly in line with my experience.

He just asked me to send him my resume - should I send a cover letter as well? I don't know the name of the person who does the hiring, but I could ask my friend . . . I guess I'm concerned about nagging him for too much information.

I haven't looked for a job in a while so I'm probably over thinking all this.

Re: Resume question . . .

  • Oh and one of the reasons I'm thinking of sending it sans cover letter is that the job hasn't been officially posted yet, so I don't have a true job description. The descriptions he sent me are from the last time the job was posted . . . so I'm not sure if I should write an in depth cover letter based on an out of date job description.
  • IMO-if your friend's husband is personally going to give this to someone, you might not need the cover letter. 
    I would ask him again, anyway.  Obiously, he thought of you, so I don't think it would be a pain to ask...

    Wow! That's great that someone thought of you for a job!!!

  • Hmm. I dunno, my first reaction is to send along a cover letter just to "go the extra mile."
  • I'd skip it.  No one around here looks at them.
