Writing Effective Cover Letters and Thank You Letters to Get the Job

Sixty percent of executives believe the cover letter is either as important as or more critical than the résumé. A cover letter should tell specifically why and how you are uniquely qualified for the job based on the criteria in the job posting.  Having a standard cover letter is a starting point, but definitely not something to arbitrarily cut-and-paste each time you apply. CEOs and hiring managers use the cover letter as a barometer to gauge a candidate’s ability to effectively communicate. This is an ideal time to showcase your written communication skills to get the job.
