wow, a staggering example of how NOT to apply for a job just landed in my in box.

first of all, she sent the same thing to about 25 production companies, and all the addresses are listed to see.

secondly, she included a photo of herself (nice enough photo) overlooking some scenic hills somewhere, and this cover letter (cut and paste):

Dear Sir or Madam

I wish to work in the film business,Commercials, or Documentary film
productions.

Please contact me with e-mail.

sincerely

Katalin. J
