• 1. Be sure to address your cover letter --by
name and title -- to the person who could
actually hire you. When it's impossible to
learn their name, use their functional title, such
as "Dear Manager." You may have to guess
("Dear Selection Committee") butnever say "To
whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir or Madam"!

that goes beyond the essential requirements of

others are equally qualified for the job, your
uniqueness may be the reason to choose YOU.)
