Default Re: Cover Letter

Darrell, think about it this way. The average HR Recruiter may get hundreds, even thousands, of resumes for a job.

The cover letter is the first thing they glance over. By the time they get to yours, they may have already looked over countless cover letters/resumes, and are tired.

What will make them wake up and want to look at your resume? What will make them think "Hey, this person may be better qualified and a better fit as compared to all the others?".
