I definitely need to improve my cover letter skills. Though I do good in face to face interviews, I’m coming to a point where the first impression given from a cover letter is becoming more important. The last time I wrote a cover letter was in production planning class for applying for a fake internship. I definitely didn’t know what I was doing when writing that cover letter. It was hard to know what or what not to add, I needed some structure. Structure is why this article appealed to me in the first place. I wish the one thing to leave out had more information, or was more specific or gave more examples. Most of what the article stated that was needed in a cover letter I already learned in production planning, I was looking for more of what not to add. Though I already knew most of the points suggested it was still helpful to get a little refresher on cover letter tips.
