Unit Overview

In addition to a forceful and attractive resume, the cover letter is an important element in selling yourself to an employer.

Chapter 15 introduces the formats for both the solicited and unsolicited letter of inquiry in the job hunt.  It also suggests tips for responding in interviews with company representatives.

Exercises in drafting cover letters will help you develop more confidence in presenting yourself and reinforce the importance of precision in word choice and expression.
