The Dreaded Cover Letter

All the advice given in the articles seems helpful to know. Everything from what your prospective employer will actually read or read first to using a postscript technique. The first article proved to be the most useful. The article claims that the resume is read before the cover letter and only when an employer shows some interest in you may he/she flip back to the cover letter. It also reveals that the cover letter should not be about me but about the company I'm hoping to work for. Most importantly, this article emphasis the tool of personal cover letters. Do not send out mass resumes attached to cover letters in an attempt to sew as many seeds as possible. Take the time to identify with each individual company on their level and in a manner that fits that company best. This will prove more effective in catching the employer's attention. One main tool I was unaware of was the use of postscript. Postscript, especially when hand-written, can be used a display case for your most admirable characteristics and achievements and will definitely help them stand out. All of this information was helpful and will assist me in my process of writing my cover letter.
