"Alongside" vs "together with"

Are these expressions interchangeable in the following sentences?
1) Send us your letter together with (alongside) a cheque...
2) Alongside (togethere with) my college work, I have to do a part-time job.
I wouldn't use the ones in brackets but don't know why, just feeling.
Can anybody pls explain why I am or I'm not correct?

When speaking of physical objects, 'alongside' usually means 'physically beside'. eg Here is a photograph of a cheque alongside a letter. So, I'd say 1) Send us your letter together with a cheque.
