Cover Letters – What to Exclude

Watch this video. Pay as much attention to the phrases you should NOT use in addition to those you should. For example, emphasize what you have done, not what you have not, or areas where you fell short. Stay positive! Be as accurate as possible and use action words like implemented, prioritized, and streamlined.

In your cover letter, you are making a first impression on the hiring manager. However, for an entry-level position, the cover letter should not be longer than one page.
