The Best Cover Letter I Ever Received - David Silverman - HarvardBusiness.org

The Best Cover Letter I Ever Received - David Silverman - HarvardBusiness.org:
"Here's what I like about this cover letter: It's short. It sums up the résumé as it relates to the job. It asks for the job.

The writer of this letter took the time to think through what would be relevant to me. Instead of scattering lots of facts in hopes that one was relevant, the candidate offered up an opinion as to which experiences I should focus on.

And that means the writer isn't just showing me skills related to the job, he's showing me he'll be the kind of employee who offers up solutions — instead of just laying problems on my desk."
