#1st Rule ADDRESS your cover letter to a REAL Person!!

Do your best to find out to WHOM

You should address your cover letter.

“Dear Manager” is LIFELESS!!

Applying for an advertised position with NO NAME to contact, CALL THE

COMPANY and ASK for the dept. Manager’s

Name!!

#2nd Rule OPEN with an attention-grabbing first sentence to really

grip the reader!!

Don’t write with the same format like regular People, BE CONVENTIONAL,, TALK THROUGH YOUR LETTER. Let your quirks and imperfections SHINE!
