Cover letter

I agree mostly with all the viewpoints about a cover letter. People should not put all their focus on the cover letter but the resume itself, because most companies do not read the cover letter. I found the best use of a cover letter to be very helpful because it laid out key points for writing the body. The important thing is to contact the employer and not sit around and wait for them to call you because the chances are low and how to sell yourself to the company. I was very unaware about the testimonials. Some companies find it very interesting when someone else says that you are great and not just you saying it the whole time. The P.S. is probably the other important factor in getting a company interested in you because it shows that you are very interested in their company.
