Cover Letters

I do believe in all of the advice given here on cover letters. As I don't really know anything having to do with cover letters, I'll take any advice I could get. I especially found the "Reality of Cover Letters" interesting, because it contradicted my thoughts that the cover letter is A) the most important part of my resume and B) the first thing that employers read. It was interested to see that employers only read this if, after they've read the resume, they are still interested in the potential employee.
The section that interested me most, and that I think I will use again, is the checklist. It simply shows what to put in your cover letter, and tells us the fundamentals of a well written and thought out cover letter.
