 | Cover Letter Research With the unlimited flow of information on the internet and search engines to help you sift through all the data, it's very easy to do some basic research on an employer before you prepare a cover letter. Just check out their website, go through all the pages and look at what they are stressing on. What is their strategy? Which are the areas where you could be of use to the employer? Co-relate the information on the site with the job requirement and prepare a cover letter which explicitly states that you can give the employer exactly what they are looking for. The job is yours before you even appear for the interview.  |

| Re: Cover Letter Research Make sure you say the name of the company in the body of the letter at least three times. If you are using a form letter make sure there is no proff, like leaving another company name in the letter. Last edited by gfell; Wed 29-Nov-06 at 12:46 PM. |

| Re: Cover Letter Research I hate cookie-cutter cover letters. You need to tailor each one to fit the needs of the company that you are applying for - not just name-dropping, but actual knowledge of the company's business. |
