Response to Advice for Cover Letters

I believe that all of the information on how to create an effective cover letter was useful and helpful. One of the most important issue that was bought up, was the purpose of writing a cover letter. Many people really do get confuse and lose focus on the purpose of writing cover letters. Cover letters are intended to provide the employer with information regarding to what the applicant can bring to the job and not a lot of personal information about the applicant.
Moreover, another thing that I found that was interesting was that employers really do not look at cover letters unless the applicant is really being considered. I thought that cover letters was one of the most important parts of selecting applicants, but I guess not. Matter of fact, the cover letter has the least importance.
The most useful part of the tutorial that I found helpful was the cover letter check list. It is most useful because it list all the necessary parts of a cover letter while also given the criteria of an effective cover letter.
