Job Search Letters

There are three categories of job search letters:
  1. Cover letters
  2. Follow-up letters
  3. Thank you letters
We'll show you the etiquette and strategy behind each.

No matter what kind of letter you're writing, it has to be perfect. We're talking an error-free zone, with regard to both grammar and spelling. Proofread every piece of correspondence and have a trusty friend read your letters and offer comments and suggestions. In addition, make sure the name and address on the envelope are correct. Simple mistakes can lead to missed opportunities.

For additional help or creative ideas, check out a sample job letter book from your local library.
