01 Jan 09 Effective Guideline no.6: Each cover letter should be customized

 

You should not have one standard cover letter for all your job applications. It would be considered a sign of laziness if you do not tailor fit a particular cover letter to a particular company.

Always make it a point to customize a cover letter according to the position and company applied at.

General cover letters will be weak and will not be able to effectively sell you to the prospective employer.  It will lack that certain force and appeal – or persuasiveness that customized cover letters possess.
