Cover Letters Do Make A Difference
December 2nd, 2009
Often the first impression of your writing ability is NOT your resume, it is your cover letter. It is important that you take time to customize each cover letter.
If you are aware of a specific opportunity, list the credentials required in on column and list your skills in a second column. That will show the hiring authority that you do have the qualification the position required.
If you are NOT aware of a specific position, make sure you list your credentials as well as desirable personality traits that you bring to the table. It is also important to inform this employer that you have targeted their company and share the reasons why.
