Cover Letter Resources

It Takes A Village…

Because you can’t take my BS at face value alone, you should also check out a few more places for ideas and insight.

Use your best judgment on whatever information you get, and keep this in mind: you can always try out an idea and take it out of your cover letter later – but if you REALLY want a job, stick with what you know is solid.
