There
are two basic types of Cover Letters – the Broadcast Cover
Letter and the Personalized Cover Letter.
The
Broadcast Letter is used for mass mailings. That is,
simply sending out résumés to companies that might need your
services, but are not advertising for them. This letter is
often addressed to Human Resources Manager – never To Whom It
May Concern! Many job seekers have found employment through
this method by stimulating the employer into an action he/she had
not intended to take, for example, creating a new position,
replacing a non-productive employee, etc. Research has shown
that less than 8% of available jobs are advertised. Broadcast
mailing is a great way to “stumble” into an opportunity.
The
Personalized Cover Letter is addressed to a specific
individual at the company for a specific position. This
ensures the résumé gets to the proper person. If at all
possible, always personalize the cover letter. Using your
Personalized Letterhead coordinates your résumé and cover
letter.

matching your résumé and cover letter can be used to prepare the
various types of letters and pertinent data (Reference Pages,
Salary History Pages, etc.) that may be necessary for your job
search. A matching package creates a great impression and
shows the employer that you are really serious about your job
search.
