Writing a good cover letter example is a very straight forward exercise. It need not be a bothersome chore, made all the more painful by its importance. And it is important. Listen to the all the guru’s, or read their columns; and it is clear that cover letters are a non-negotiable part of what you send to employers. I am a paint by the numbers kind of guy. I really do need it laid out in front of me if I am to understand it. And most advice regarding cover letters seem far too theoretical to me. So I am going to attempt to get back to basics as I lay out how to write a cover letter.
