Document Summary

Always send a cover letter if they request one. Change it each time by using words from the employer ad. Your first & last name - larger than rest of letterhead. City, province, postal code - remember postal code. Email address - work appropriate & easy to read. Always date your cover letter - we use a business letter format. Write in words (june 20, 2016), not numbers (06, 20, 16) Do not use canada unless it"s going outside of canada. When the ad states to send to the hr manager, you can usually find the hr manager"s name with little effort - also find the complete mailing address & postal code. You might be the only applicant who is able to find this information. Dear mr. jones - if you know the person"s name. Dear recruiter - if you do not know the person"s name.
