Relax, be yourself, dont be too confident, dont be too unsure either, be courteous and clear, look the interviewer in the eye, be crisp, use proper posture and punctuation, dont be too eager...did I say to relax???

I am hoping I can piggy back off of this post and ask a question of my own? Since I really didn't get much out of my resume TAPS class, I am wondering where I should go to find good (and current) examples of resumes and cover letters?
