questions for those more experienced than I

[dchenes]

When you find a job that sounds like it suits you right down to the ground, what do you do other than apply for it, make yourself sound as ideal as possible and start praying like crazy? And when they say "send cover letter and resume to resumes@xyz.com", how do you address the cover letter? Not only isn't there a specific person mentioned, there isn't even a department mentioned.

(Linguistic QA, in Brookline. Medical. Into English. Pretty much everything I wanted, all in one package.)

It's absolutely amazing how much contradictory advice there is out there regarding how to write cover letters.
