Hello, on the Met website there are several areas of interest you can apply to:
* Administrative Support
* Communications
* Conservation
* Curatorial
* Design
* Development
* Distribution Center
* Education
* Facilities
* Finance
* Human Resources
* Information Systems and Technology
* Legal
* Libraries
* Maintenance
* Membership
* Merchandising
* Retail Sales
* Security
* Special Events
* Visitor Services
I am interested in several of these. My question is: should I send a separate email and cover letter for each area or just explain in one why i would be good in any of these areas. Thank you.!

Usually for situations like this, they like you sending in an application for each competition that you're interested in applying for, as they usually will go to separate files, and you will never know which files they will go into. So if you're interested in applying for multiple postings, send an email for each of them.
