Sometimes, not always, when searching for my next position or project, I make an effort to write an interesting cover letter, one intended to convey images and passion, a story. I want it to be a great read. For most mundane jobs, an ordinary letter will do, but for the special cases I want the letter to have zing. If I hand over a copy to a friend who's not a professional writer, I typically get no constructive feedback. I'm not looking for someone to proofread (though I do need that), or judge it in terms of job search advice or the technical jargon used in the particular industry. I want someone who gets good storytelling, who can recognize where an attempt at painting a vision fell short or the pacing isn't right. These are not the things that cover letters ordinarily have, but I am not trying to land work on ordinary projects. How to find someone to provide such a critique? (For money, a beer, ...?)
