of language in your resume cover letters

As you write your cover letter keep the same rules in mind as you use in the writing of your resume.

Keep your sentences short and your paragraphs concise.

A long-winded cover letter demonstrates a disorganized mind and an inability to communicate fluently.

Once again be aware of the power of short words and concise sentences. A common mistake is the overuse of long words that have no relevance to the message you are sending out and instead confuse and alienate the reader.

Keep it simple, state the facts and focus on the message you are sending out rather than the manner in which you send it.
