I think that this video provides some prtety good information regarding cover letters in the current job climate. While I've heard it all before, its still nice to know that these strategies (MAY) help in garnishing some attention and a possible interview. My biggest question is, if HR people want a non-generic cover letter so much these days, why do some companies make it so darn difficult to find the specific hiring manager's details, so that we can actually tailor the cover letter (Specifically) to them and have the best chance of actually being considered for an interview? I know I know, people say search for this information. Search on LinkedIn, the Web, Facebook or call the company directly in order to find out this information. Guess what? What if you do all of that to no avail? Then what? Send a generic cover letter and be thrown into the black hole or deleted from further consideration for the job? OMG, this job search stuff is really getting dizzying and quite annoying to say the least.
