Hey fellas,
After much consideration, I'm deciding that I want to leave my current place of employ. I currently work in web programming (lol) and as the general IT guy in a small office (like five to seven people small). Initially, I really enjoyed working here because pretty much all I do is cruise around the internet while waiting for stuff that needed to get fixed (and occasionally, update a website or two), but recent managerial changes have pretty much made my life hell. I'm working weekends and overtime on this paltry pay they're giving me, plus some of the higher management assholes are consistently trying to barrage me with "pass the buck" bullshit, basically stacking my plate with stuff I shouldn't even be working on.
Anyway, I'm considering moving into one of my friends' workplace as a software support analyst (basically a C/SQL/Oracle programmer), and I really want to make it in, as in, I don't want to screw up. I haven't really been one to master the art of job hunting, so I'm really worried. To start, I really don't know how to write a cover letter/e-mail to the guy that receives the resumes, and if someone could give me advice that would be awesome.
General job interview tips would also be welcomed.
