Cover Letters

The article on cover letters was filled with information that I would have thought was pretty much common sense for most people. It described a cover letter as everything I would have though a cover letter would be. A lot of the points that the article discusses are very valid and should be followed whenever writing a cover letter for a resume.
Researching a company is very good advice. By researching a company not only are you becoming more aware of the type of business you are getting involved in but you are also showing your potential employer you can take initiative and care about what you are getting involved in.
I also agree with the writer's opinion that a cover letter should be written to help you stand out amongst possibly hundreds of other resumes a potential employer may be viewing for a job. It is important that a cover letter is written as professional as possible, it is the opening to your resume, a preview of the type of person you are.
I think this article was filled with very useful information that should be followed by anyone writing a cover letter.
