I applied for a job at a Guess store at one mall.

But i'll be applying at another

.I want to know if i should omit anything, reword anything or just anything that
would help me. For my resume, I was told to take out the first 4 bulleted point
s & put them in my cover letter. Also, is the format of my cover letter & resume
good? if not, what would be a better format?
