Понимаю, что таких запросов на этом форуме уже навалом, но все же. Хотелось бы получить критику и полезные рекомендации по поводу моих резюме и cover letter. Я здесь уже почти 3 месяца, а работу до сих пор не нашел, хотя вроде все делаю по правилам, даже прошел 2-х недельные курсы по правильному составлению резюме и поискам работы. Там к тому же учили, что надо составить список фирм, узнавать имя нужного человека, звонить и "навязываться", рекламировать себя. Типа это правльно и работодателями даже приветствуется. Позвонил пару раз, потом желание пропало. Вернулся к тому, что просто ищу вакансию, и шлю Cover Letter с приаттаченым резюме в формате Word.doc Ниже привожу мои Cover Letter и Resume. Посоветуйте, что не так я делаю, и почему работодатели молчат.
