I just applied at Sacred Herb. Here’s the letter. I was going for informal, which I find works a lot better than that ye olde “please find attached my resume” bullshit they teach you in school.

Hi,

Are you guys are hiring?

I’m starting law school in Sept. 2010 and I’m looking to save up for that. I’ve got a thorough background in computers, business, and accounting. If you need tech support, a bookkeeper, or any kind of computer or business consulting I’m certainly your guy.

I’m also happy to stock shelves, sweep floors, and man the register.

Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you a resume or meet you for a chat.

Thanks,

Jack

We’ll see how it turns out.
