Like, the objective. I'm sending one to a pet food store and one to the hospital. So, how would I word that?

Also, what about a cover letter? I'm not sure what to write...I really just want a new job. I hate where I work now...but I can't exactly put that in a cover letter as to why I want the job lol...any ideas?
- Customize the objective to the job. Have a couple different resumes ready for the different kind of jobs you want to look for, since the resume doesn't have to be exactly the same for each application
- The cover letter should also be customized to the place you're looking to apply to. Use their job posting, and pull out the top three things you can do best for that job, and sell them on how you can help them, not how they can help you. Also, dont mention that you hate your current job

Check out http://www.monster.ca and http://www.workopolis.ca -- they have career sections in them that talk about resumes and cover letters, that might be able to help you out.

Good Luck!
