Default Re: Cover Letter

A friend of mine in HR told me that above all, the cover letter should be completely free of errors. He said that when sorting through resumes, a misspelling gets you passed right over.

If you have any spelling or gramatical challenges, have someone proof read it.
(I think I may have made a gramatical error with proof read).

He went on to say that if your resume is the cake, the cover letter is the icing.

Of course, a proven track record or unique skill makes some spelling errors easier to overlook.
