Whenever possible, address the cover letter to a specific person by name and title. If no contact name is given in the job advertisement, but there is a phone number, call and ask for the Human Resources Manager’s name.  \n2. When responding to a “blind” ad where no company name is given, send the letter to the title of the appropriate hiring manager (Production Manager, Office Manager, etc.) . Do not use “To Whom It May Concern”.  \n3. Explain why you are sending the resume. If applying for a specific job, include the job title and tell where you heard about the job (newspaper, online, etc.) .  \n4. Read the job ad very carefully, and provide all information requested in the ad.  \n5. Keep the cover letter to one page. Highlight what you’ve included on your resume, but don’t get too lengthy with the letter.  \n6. Be sure to sign your cover letter when mailing, faxing, scanning, or delivering in person. Sign in blue or black ink.  \n7. Use the same style and size of font on your cover letter as on your resume.  \n8. PROOFREAD for spelling and grammatical errors; have someone else review, too.  \nCover Letter Web Sites  \n[www.dol.state.ga.us](www.dol.state.ga.us)  \n[www.indeed.com](www.indeed.com)  \n[www.careerlab.com/letters/default.htm](www.careerlab.com/letters/default.htm)  \n[http://career-advice.monster.com/resumes-cover-letters/cover-letter](http://career-advice.monster.com/resumes-cover-letters/cover-letter)tips/jobs.aspx  \nSample Cover Letter  \n9897 Main Street Sandersville, GA 31082 [jggraduate@yahoo.com](jggraduate@yahoo.com)[ ](jggraduate@yahoo.com)November 1, 2014  \nMr. Michael Brown,  \nPresident Technopro, Inc.  \n672 Smith Avenue Warrenton, GA 30828  \nDear Mr. Brown:  \nI recently saw your ad in the local newspaper for a Networking Specialist. I would very much welcome the opportunity to be considered for this position. I will receive my Diploma in Computer Information Systems from Oconee Fall Line Technical College on December 10, 2014, and feel I could implement this training as a member of your organization. My resume is enclosed for you to review my qualifications.  \nI would greatly appreciate the chance to learn more about your company and to explore how my qualifications might meet your needs. I will call early next week to discuss the possibility of an interview, or you may call me at 478 123-0000 to schedule a meeting.  \nThank you very much for your consideration.  \nSincerely,  \nJohn Q. Graduate  \nJohn Q. Graduate Enc.  \nResume Tips  \n1. Plan the content of your resume so it will be no more than 2 pages.  \n2. Design the resume to match the needs of the employer and the job you’re applying for.  \n3. Be totally HONEST. Don’t include any education, experience, etc. that you don’t truly have since this will likely be checked. Falsifying information during hiring is justification for termination after employment.  \n4. Use a professional font that is at least 10-point; make sure the font is clear and easy for anyone to read. Bold and/or capitalize the main sections so an employer can easily locate what he/she is looking for. PROOFREAD for spelling and grammatical errors and have someone else proof as well.  \n5. Be sure the phone numbers and e-mail addresses listed are operational. Compose a courteous and professional voice mail message; that gives a great first impression. Don’t make an employer listen to music before he/she can leave a message; they don’t have time for this.  \n6. Include the job you are applying for as your Objective.  \n7. If your Education is more closely related to the job, list that before Work History.  \n8. Include the name of school/college, city/state, highest level of education received, and date completed.  \n9. In Work History, list the most recent employer first. Include your job title, company name, city/state, start","cbCaikvDSQHP3lwt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikvDSQHP3lwt","pdf",326841,13,"English","# Cover Letter Tips\n## Cover Letter Web Sites\n## Sample Cover Letter\n# Resume Tips\n## Resume Web Sites\n## Sample Resume for Job Seekers with No Work History","[{\"question\":\"How should a cover letter address the hiring contact?\",\"answer\":\"Address the cover letter to a specific person by name and title when possible.
