Making a job search cover letter needn’t be a dull process. Effective cover letters are short, skimmable and simply read ( a good tenet wherever your cover letter is going ) 3 to 4 paragraphs tops. If you are answering an advert, address the pre-requisites in the ad and speak with how your experience is related to each. If you are sending the letter cold, confirm your letter reflects some research on the company, how your background relates, and why you have an interest in that company. But as an alternative what typically happens is this. Bob is watching out for a job. He looks through the paper, finds some adverts that sound engaging, and circles them all with red pen. Then he sweats out the cover letter, personalizes each address, attaches his resume, mails them out, and congratulates himself on a task well done. Then nothing occurs. He wonders why. He shrugs his shoulders and starts all over again.
