I just found out today that my company could be closing its doors on Monday. I haven't looked for a job in three years, so I was wondering if I could get some tips. I know a lot of you guys are in computer related fields (I am a programmer, mostly Delphi) and may be able to help.
More to the point, I have a resume, but what is the best way to get it to employers online? Do I need a cover letter? What should I say in my email?. I have no idea how to approach this stuff and would like to avoid any turn offs if possible (the programmer market seems terrible here in Houston because Compaq and Enron just dumped a bunch of people here). Thanks in advance for any advice.
