[quote="Da_Bian":6af62]Example of a standard letter I do here:
[quote:6af62]Dear Sir / Madam,

I would like to apply for the ______ position in your company, which was advertised in ________. Please consider me and I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

I'm experience in all aspects of ________.

I live in _________, _____.

My resume is attached. Please feel free to contact me for further details.

Yours faithfully,

Shitfor Brains.[/quote:6af62]

I usually trash generic, fill-in-the-blanks cover letters like that without even looking at the resume, and I assume that like 99% of the applicants you send the cover letter by email and attach a resume as a doc of some sort. See, once you get enough of these letters you be kind of like surfing websites and ignoring banner ads "by default". Sometimes you get these letters with the wrong company filled in too. rolleyes:

Seriously, if you won't even take the time writing something that at least look a little bit "custom wrote" for my project or company you can apply elsewhere. But that's just me, nitpicking and being an a-hole and all that, yeah, but also I employ people. the_finger:
