Wait.... So your example of a cover letter wasn't supposed to be a joke? I'm confused.

Not sure if you can still get it, but I have a program called Resume Pro which had tons of examples you could use to modify to your specific needs. Just cut, insert, save. Actually made plenty of spare $ doing resumes for airline employees with it. Keep it short and sweet, but do try and make it professional, and don’t be a afraid to highlight anything you might think is relevant to the specific job you are seeking that will interest them.  And we always added an “Objective”. I’d make it a bit more than “A position in the aquaculture industry” though. That’s just short of, “I want a job.”
 
From the looks of yours, you might want to get it done right for a fee. I’m thinking your cover letter may cause you some problems, as that’s what they would read first, b ut in the long run, it's the interview. Your going to get the job there, it's just getting the interview in the first place. Do what you can to get there.

I agree with Creamo... go to a Professional Resume writer and pay the bucks... It'll all pay off in the end.

Good Luck Bud,

Mac, you forgot to run spellchecker. The proper wording is 73h 5cr3W3d.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
