Dear Savvy,
I was considering applying for a job in the online social media industry, but got turned off when I noticed the listing asks for a cover letter, resume, writing and blog samples, and a Facebook page link. I'm fully aware that employers use Facebook and Google to research candidates, but I don't like the fact that they want to scope me out before they meet me. I'm smart, qualified, have relevant experience and I have a fairly normal Facebook, but would feel funny sharing it with a potential employer.

Dear Savvy,
I am writing a cover letter to a position I am dying to get and therefore, wanting everything to be perfect. Here is my dilemma: I know both the full names of the recruiter and the hiring manager. Whose name should I use when addressing the cover letter?

Dear Sugar
I'm in my early 30s and I am having a hard time finding satisfying work. I have two Bachelor of Arts degrees but have never had a job that requires the specific skills learned from each of these subjects. Every time I see an ad in the newspaper for a job that requires someone with my college qualifications, I write a letter and send a resume to the companies.
