Cover Letters

No, I do not agree with all the advice given on the site. Of all the advice given, I believe the worst tip is the postscript technique. I do not believe this technique should be used in any way in regards to the cover letter. Anything you have to say about yourself, work experience, etc should be addressed in the body of the letter or in the resume itself. The best tips involved doing a follow-up with the company. Doing a follow-up allows you to check the current status of the resume and allows you to prepare for the next step. When I compose my cover letter in the future, I will make sure I incorporate more of my personality within the cover letter while tying in my personal beliefs with company values.
