How much research do you usually do before a job interview? Basically memorising the job posting is key, and your cover letter shouldn't be the generic (Buffista-written) one that's gone out to everyone on the web. Monster.com is suggesting I read up on the company that owns them too.
The Monster cover letter tips also includes other tips. A couple of which I will take. And I have some topic reading to do before the big game.

He has giant paws! And he's all wriggly! And soft!

What kind of puppy??
(And am I insane for wanting another?)
Jake says it's a Husky/Golden Retriever mix, but I think there's German in there. He's NAPPING at my feet now.
