As I've said, I personally really dislike cover letters but maybe
that's
just me.
I want a cover letter that tells me that the person has read the ad,
and is responding TO ME, about MY AD. It's a letter, not a stock
piece of paper. For example:
Dear Mr. Lester,
My colleague Bill Odom referred me to the job recently posted on
jobs.perl.org. I believe that I can help Follett with a good set of
skills, including:
* 4 years of database apps for MyCo, including....
* 3 years Perl experience, including two CPAN modules (http://...)
that extend DBI....
* A BS in CS from UIUC, with a 3.7 GPA.
* Experience in the book industry, and a natural love of books.
I look forward for a chance to meet with you to discuss your needs
and how I can help you and FLR.
