I was just reviewing a cover letter an applicant sent my way and discovered an unfortunate error on the letter. The fact is any error on a cover letter, resume, cv, thank you note, etc. is unfortunate. Very unfortunate.
In each case, it says “I’m not detailed-oriented”, even if that isn’t the case. I see an error on a cover letter and that person has created an uphill battle with me because I lose interest in the candidate on the spot. Unless you can think like an editor, please have someone review your work before you send it out. Two sets of eyes are always better than one and you’re career juts just may depend on it.
To your success,
Rita
