ByQuestion by whoisjamie: Is there a space after the use of a comma in a sentence. Also are there any good tips/sites re: Cover Letters?
I am trying to update my resume and am not questioning myself as to whether or not there is the use of a space after a comma or not. This is for my resume for employment and I cannot be too sure, I have always used a space after but for some reason I am questioning it now. Also I am really outdated on cover letters and what is the latest in what format and content is appropriate or highly suggested to help stand out and get my resume looked at. I hear it is usually your cover letter that gets you a face to face interview so I know it is important and I would like any tips from anyone who hires people corporately or anyone who has successfully recently been hired at a corporate position or advanced level position of any kind or really anyone else that has had experience with writing cover letters and resumes any tips or samples of cover letters and things to stay away from, things to include, any secrets that make you stand out as a potential employee any buzz words, formats, content that would help me? Do they have “templates” anywhere that are current and most updated as to what employers are expecting to receive when looking through resumes and cover letters??? I think I’ve got my resume handled except for that comma question, lol but I am TOTALLY LOST on my cover letter and cannot seem to get many call backs on resumes I am sending out, I believe it is because I am not including a cover letter I’d like to get it written and added today as the week is almost over and I want to apply to as many positions in my field that I see before the end of the day Friday. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Thanks so much.

Yes there is always a space after a comma in a sentence.
As far as cover letters I really have no advice, sorry!

You should use a space after commas, try http://www.cvtips.com/resume.html for resume tips to help you out, good luck, never an easy or simple task!
Yes – always put a space after a comma.
Also, try to break any big chunk of text into paragraphs. Here’s your original question in smaller, bite-sized portions:

Some of those sentences are fairly unwieldy, too!
I’d STRONGLY recommend that you post your draft cover letter on Q!A (with names XXXX’d out). It’s very possible that some editing here and there will enhance your chances of landing that job.
I haven’t googled yet, but I’d be surprised if there weren’t “templates” available somewhere. In general terms, what sort of employment were you looking for?
