I'm trying to re-write my resume and a cover letter.
I had an interview on tuesday for a pathology internship over dec/january at one of the local hospitals - and I have no idea if either of my documents are okay.
Any tips folks?

I'd happily review what you've written if that helps.
But that sounds like such a specialist field, I don't know if I can offer and sound advice.

ahah i don't know what to include, that's the thing. I'm worried about being too broad or that I'm being too specific.
I've listed my classes that I'm undertaking, my career goal, where I see myself in five years time (I may have fudged that bit to help my chances), and my reasoning behind it all but yeah....
She asked me to send them to her after our interview so I guess I did something right in person, I just don't want to undo it all on paper.

Like I say, I'm happy to read it, but I don't know what, if any value I can add.

The art of pathology
is being able to lay the paving slabs completely flat, so that unsuspecting pedestrians don't trip over them and then sue the council for every penny they've got.

Use plenty of sand as a base, and if the ground is a bit uneven, use more sand at the end that is slightly lower down than the other. Make sure that you do this during peak holiday periods so as to completely cut off vital bits of the street when more people will be inconvenienced by it.

Then, in February, rip it all up and start again because you've suddenly realised that there's a bit of budget left and if you don't spend it, the government will take it back and you'll not get it in next year's allocation.

ahaha, in the same sense that Milton Keynes is a nice part of the world.
But it's close to home, and the campus I'll be living on is really nice, and the uni is really good.

Nah it's just not the best place.
Some areas are quite rough. And I'm glad to live on res - the security people are really good. I have a lecture on tuesday nights that finishes at 9pm, and it's on the far side of the campus - the security folks are nice enough to walk people back to their dorms at night.

Fact of the day: I live in the anti-Miltonkeynes.
In that there's no roundabouts at all, it's mostly made of stone, and it's a loose aggregation of several fairly small closely-spaced industrial towns that grew and ran into each other in an unplanned fashion.
