I guess if I were posting something on Craigslist, the headline that I would use would be something along the lines of: Recent Communications Graduate Seeks Writing Job in Professional Journalism Field. I think that says it all, it says my status as a college student and my major, it states what I actually want to do within my field, and it states the actual field of work that I want to work in.
As for my cover letter, I would definitely tell who I am, the position I am seeking within my professional field, and of course contact information. However I would not put my last name, my home address, or any phone numbers on there considering Craigslist is an online site and anyone who is anyone can view it. Within the body of my cover letter I will also express my qualifications for the position I am seeking, I would list computer skills, people skills, and maybe even why I should be selected for an interview among the masses. Without even thinking, I would also include a Thank You to whomever is considering my resume, and I will also mention at the very ending of my letter that I am available for an interview at the employers earlier convenience.
I have a cover letter written already, however it needs some desperate tweaking considering I haven't updated it since this past summer. It's now spring, and it's about time for a tweak.
