But don't give the impression that you only ever solve a problem by doing research. There are many skills that you have that you can apply without having to remind yourself or having to check online what other people have done. Also, there is no need for too much personal story. It's great to say that you love your current job but business is down. That's really positive and that you get on well with your current workmates. But you don't have to tell them that you can't afford to go to college right now. They can't give you a job from any sense of pity, it must be on merits of your resume and interview. You don't have to say 'please consider this application' - they will obviously consider anything that gets sent in. But I do like describing your personality and it does come through and show you in a good light. But less written would make more of a positive impact. One thing to be careful about:
