The single most egregious cover letter faux pas is not doing th absolute minimum — finding out to whom to address the letter. I have had recent grads, people with master’s degrees and folks with 20 years’ experience send me a “To Whom It May.” It gets either the instant wastebasket treatment or, depending on my mood and workload I respond with a nasty form letter.

Oh ! Having been in a situation on many occasions where I have been the receiver of applications, that cover letter is the first and foremost important aspect of the application. It provides the first impression and as we all know, that is the lasting impression. It is important to create a snap shot of who and why and where you hope to devote your skills.

Cover letter has to be unique but no one knows how it should be good for employers.

Whether you’ve written one or one hundred cover letters in your lifetime, they can present enough challenges to make you dread the process each time. It’s for this reason that many people resort to the “carbon copy” cover letter as opposed to creating an original one for each job application.

You still need a cover letter if you apply for a job via the Internet. Online letters do not need to be as lengthy as traditional ones, but the elements should remain the same. Use professional salutations such as “Mr.” and “Ms.,” and always include your full name, telephone number and mailing address. Appearances aside, what really matters in a cover letter is what it says — and that it generates enough interest to draw people to your resume. Use the guidelines above to make sure what you state in your letter delivers exactly the message you want to convey.

I couldn’t agree more–the interview is the most important sales call of your life, whether you’re in sales or not, and it’s all about showing how you and your skill set can benefit the company. That’s why it’s important to view your resume as a marketing document, rather than a job history. Another great way to show that is by bringing a 30/60/90-day plan to the interview. It spells out how you’re going to be able to jump into the game within the first 3 months.
