tips that could mislead you.

“

You need a lengthy cover letter.

”

This probably is one of the

“

bad cover letter tips.

”

Think about

it :hiring managers have piles of resumes and cover letters to review. If yours is longer than the rest,

it might not get read at all. Aim to get all of your points across in three brief paragraphs: a clear

introduction that lets employer know which job you are applying for and why you are interested in the

position; a paragraph that includes a few specific examples of how to have

excelled

(

擅长< /p>

) in past roles

that are relevant to the open position; and a concluding paragraph that tells employers how you will

benefit their company and requests a future meeting.

“

Your cover letter is less important than your resume.

”

Some hiring managers

(

随手扔

) cover

letters to the side, but most do not. Because you never know what type of hiring manager you are

dealing with, it is best to submit a nice cover letter. While some employers place less emphasis on

cover letters, others decide who to interview based on them. Remember that the point of a cover letter

is to tell employers something that makes them want to meet you.

’

t you write a lengthy cover letter?

B) Well-written cover letters may be read first.

C) It is difficult to write a good long cover letter.

D)

You

are

unable

to

express

your

points

clearly.

.

A) your request for a job interview

B) the position you are interested in
