Actually, I agree with brey's aunt.
The cover letter must be appealing enough for the
interviewer/reader to want to know you better to read further into
your resume.
Resume I think nowadays straight to the point. No need essay type.
In any case, if got many resumes, interviewer/employers also no
time to go through all.
Eh, now I sort of vaguely remembered there was a resume thread is
it. Those in management can give pointers as to what they typically
look for? Want to start a new thread on resume writing? 
Good luck hor, Ferret. Hope what you wish for, will come true!
