Resume Tip #27: Cover Letter
April 18th, 2009
There is a debate about cover letters. Personally, when I am very interested in a company, I write a short 2 to 3 paragraph email or letter. Many recruiters don’t read cover letters at all.
If you are going to write one, make sure you tailor it to the company and offer some knowledge of a problem or a product that you can help improve. Do not send the same cover letter to every company. It’s lame and we figure it out and into the wastebasket it goes.
