when a letter “sells” a candidate, and how his or her skills might benefit a poten-
tial employer. Cover letters like these grab and keep a reader’s attention. They
stand a far better chance of resulting in an interview than the traditional, standard
cover letters that most people send.
Most of the sample letters included throughout this book illustrate this key
principal. As you review them, you may be surprised at how little industry-spe-
cific, even job-specific information is included. So be sure you don’t overlook let-
ters that fall outside your field—virtually every letter in this book contains an idea
you can use.
