Cover it up!
One of the rudest things that you can do when sending your resume to prospective companies, is to not attach a cover letter to it. The cover letter is a form of self-introduction, and sending a plain resume is like a figurative slap in the face. A well worded and well thought-out cover letter can give you plus points with the HR personnel assessing your application. Be sure that your letter is straight to the point. You should �sound� confident and make clear your strong drive and motivation. Add here your references to prove your credibility. Most importantly, don�t forget to let the best of your personality shine through.
