[quote=Anonymous]I hire for editorial positions and pretty much never look at the cover letter. While it could possibly be disqualifying, people with the type of experience we look for will write a competent cover letter. We give writing/editing exercises as part of our interview process, which is really where we determine skill. I also wouldn't include an objective; they make neutral or negative impressions on me--never positive. And they take up space that you could be using to show me your qualifications. Like another poster, I hate long resumes.[/quote]
