k_norr enthusiast Registered: 06/09/03 Posts: 371 Loc: Maryland, USA	I am going to send my resume to a company who a friend of mine recommended for me. He's previously worked with the owners of the company. Should I mention his name in my cover letter or leave it out? Thanks in advance for your help! Ken

Your friend should know if mentionning his name will help or hinder your chances of making it to the interview. _________________________ Why did I post this?

Sometimes this can help a company when a resume accompanies a personal reference as opposed to being one in a sea of other resumes. Just a thought.
