Cover Letter:
Darla Notaro,
My name is Scot Simpers. I am interested in employment with Bentley Motors USA. I spoke with Linda Krentler on Wednesday June 1st and she directed me to e-mail you with regard to career opportunities.
I am a Master’s student at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s
Automobiles have always held a deep attraction to me and as such I have a strong desire to work within the industry. I feel that my unique blend of education and interests will benefit me greatly within an automotive firm. My background in design will be a complement to my abilities working with people and my formal education in business administration. All of this combined with a drive for excellence, a deep interest in automobiles, and a love of racing make Bentley an excellent career opportunity.
Bentley’s dedication to its heritage, both in racing and in producing a unique combination of exhilarating performance with hand-crafted refinement in their production cars, makes Bentley an exceptional company.
As a student of the arts and a student of business I feel that I represent an excellent opportunity to be a part of the team that makes Bentley a leader in its field. I have often worked with people, as part of production teams and as part of my previous work experience, which I feel makes me valuable as an employee and co-worker.
Headquarters positions have the mot appeal, and to facilitate my employment within such a position I am willing to relocate as needed. I can be reached by either phone (301-526-5236) or e-mail (scot.simpers@gmail.com) most of the time and would appreciate hearing from you at your earliest convenience. My resume is attached and I appreciate your time in considering me for a position at Bentley Motors USA.
Sincerely,
Scot Simpers

Scott, the only thing I see wrong is a typo in the beginning of the last paragraph;
"'Headquarters positions have the mot appeal, and to facilitate..."
I presume "mot" should be "most"
I like the first resume.

One thing I noticed in Resume 2, the number list in the Experience - NJIT Counseling section, need to set the counter back to start at 1.

Scot;
I don't know much, but I am a hiring manager (QA and Regulatory Affairs), and I would use Resume #2, lose the hourly wage figures (not germane to the type of positions you're looking for), punch up the NJIT experience, and one-line everything else. The positions that you're seeking are interested in relevant experience, not how you spent your time.
Good Luck, man
Roy
