By now you hopefully know that a cover letter is just as vital in your job search as your resume. A well-written cover letter helps to separate yourself from the rest of the pack, and gives you one-page to explain the bullet points of your resume and give your future employer a little more personal information.
With that said, the cover letter can also be your worst enemy. Writer Tom Arten gives a brief list of some of the pitfalls to avoid when penning your cover letter. Some of these include repeating yourself, using form cover letters, and forgetting to state which job you are applying for.
Just remember to take some time to craft an individualized, personal letter for each place your applying to and you’ll be filling up your new desk before you know it.
