These are some helpful questions to ask about your cover letter before submitting your job application:
- Does your cover letter enhance your job search packet?
- Is your cover letter an effective marketing tool by itself?
- Is your cover letter customized to the job you are applying to?
- Is your cover letter the same paper stock and follow the same heading format as your resume?
- Is your cover letter addressed to an individual, and is the name spelled correctly? (When in doubt, call and ask for the correct spelling of the recipient's name.)
