Check Your Cover Letter
- Your information (name, address, home phone, cell phone, email) is all correct.
- The contact name and company name are correct.
- The letter is addressed to an individual, if possible.
- The cover letter mentions the position you are applying for and where it was listed.
- The cover letter has been proofed and you have read the cover letter out loud to make sure there are no missing words.
