Any Takers?

I need someone I can trust to keep my personal info secret, preferably someone in psychology or the behavioral sciences (but I'll take what I can get) who is willing and able to review my CV and cover letter for the RA position hopefully within the next few hours so I can get this submitted tonight. 

I really, really want this job and no one I know IRL has any real experience or knowledge of academia that will help me in critically looking at my CV and cover letter. 

Don't worry - I'm getting rid of the red font. But I'm keeping the bullets, goddamit.

Send them to postdoc dot psych at gmail dot com.

Oh, want to send the ad too? that way I can judge how well what you wrote is fitting what they're looking for.

I can help you if you want a non-psych opinion. After recently reviewing >60 cover letters and CVs for a vacant administrative position here as well as my postdoc vacancy, I can tell you EXACTLY what I do and don't like!

I don't think I'm experienced enough to give a good critique and I'm betting the ones you're getting from your esteemed readers ^^^^ are going to be great. I'm just writing to say good luck.
