Im an advertising major and in part of a course project I was instructed to come up with a creative cover letter idea. Breaking the current conventions this letter has to stand out (the basic idea is that it stands out from a pile of a hundred 8x11 white letters). This can be done through the delivery or format.
Im at a complete loss here as all the ideas I've had have been done before so if you have any idea please let me know.
Past formats (so you get an idea): A poster. A cover letter rolled up inside a soccer ball. However it has to be on paper (so no videos or cds)
PS. This only refers to the cover letter, not to a resume.
And "fancy paper" is not a good suggestion.
Go crazy!
