After all the comments noting the importance of a well-written cover letter over a resume, what was your experience with the cover letters that came with those long resumes?

OK, so maybe a better title would be tips on getting me to hire you.
The original post was not in response to a previous thread, nor was it in
response to sending a 5-page resume. It was in response to *receiving* a
bunch of 5-page resumes.

With a 5-page resume, the best that you can hope for is that I'll ask you
to edit it. More likely, it will just end up in the "no" pile.

Suzanne's 2-pages-of-standard-resume-with-2-pages-of-tables would fly.
