Cover Letters Used To Get You Noticed

well-written note that showcases your communication skills and professionalism.
However, fast-forward many years later and job seekers have gone on

playing it safe, the result is a letter that screams one part narcissist and
two parts copycat. In short, cover letters have lost their originality - the
very thing that made them effective.
