4 Undiscussed Cover Letter Mistakes To Avoid

Cover letters are necessary evils.

When I recruited, I didn’t read them much. And when I did, I typically felt the cover letter hurt the candidate more than it helped.

I’m not a fan.

But some hiring managers and recruiters love cover letters.

So, as a result, you gotta have a good one or two ready to go. Right?

But before you send your cover letter, make sure you run your cover letter by my list of 4 Undiscussed Cover Letter Mistakes outlined in this video.

Undiscussed? Well, 3 of the 4 cover letter mistakes I list here, I haven’t seen listed anywhere (but let me know if you see it somewhere).

No matter what…make sure your cover letter doesn’t have any of these four mistakes to increase your chance of landing an interview.
