Why there is no more cover letter?
I am getting a bit more concerned about nowadays, applicants never bother much to compose a well written cover letter before sending their resumes along. Occasionally, I did receive resume and “memo” looking cover letter: “Hey man, I am looking for a job, give me a ring.” and the fun part was, these candidates’ expected salary range = $80K USD and up. Speaking of resumes, I received more and more PHOTO attached or GIF/JPEG “artworks” resumes…I don’t mind if those photos are professionally taken or those art works are well rendered - the poorest things are - they are too low-resolution, too dimmed, too yellow, too sloppy…Anyway, long story short, if you want a potential employer to look at your application, please have a decency to write or at least “copy” a professional cover letter along with your resume. Nothing worse than having bunch of U-Grads submitted their ill-prepared package in such a care-free fashion.
Thank you so much for these awesome tips you have written as far as resume cover letters. All prospective employees should surely enhance their cover letter as it would be a great shame to miss an opportunity for not having done so!
