Top 5 Cover Letter Myths
Professional
Resume Writing Articles
1. A handwritten cover
letter is best.
Employers may think you are
far behind the times if you don't use a
computer's word processor. Your only handwriting
should be your signature at he end.
2.
Keep your cover letter really short.
There
is no fixed rule of measurement for the length of
your cover letter. It depends upon the amount of
content you have to convey.
3. Your cover letter
gets you a job.
To succeed in your job
search, you need to have a high-quality resume supported by a
well-written cover letter. The success rate depends
to a great extent on 3 factors i.e. the quality of
your resume and cover letter, the market position of
your skill set, and your performance in the
interview..
4.
You can talk about your personal
life and feelings in your cover letter.
Your cover letter talks about how your employer
can benefit from
the special assets you offer. Introduce
yourself in
such an interesting manner, highlighting
your key
achievements and skills, that the reader will
not
only continue reading your documents but also
be
willing to call you for an interview.
5.
Include salary history and expectations in your
cover
letter
Do not mention details of your
expected remuneration. Giving this detail will either undersell you or
overprice you. Save the salary discussion for the
interview.
