Cover Letter Survey

Cover Letter Survey One of my recent posts,You Need a Cover Letter! was based on personal experience and knowledge.If you had any doubts of the importance of a cover letter or are one of many job seekers who believe a formal cover letter is no longer neccessary, read on. A newstudy conducted by an independent research firm and developed by OfficeTeam shows 93% of senior executives feel that acover letter is valuable when evaluating prospective job candidates. Dave Willmer, executive director of OfficeTeam said, Submitting a resume without a cover letter is like not shaking hands when meeting someone for the first time. Those who arent including cover letters with their resume are missing an opportunity to make a good first impression and set themselves apart from other job applicants. A meeting without a greeting, a bagel without cream cheese, a roller coaster without an incline,prime rib without horseradish, a shirtwithout trousers,salt without pepper, a resume without a cover letter? Its just not right!
