Self Promotion: Gone are the days when candidates furnished their resumes with meek, humble applications for being hired. The era belongs to outspoken and confident letters, where the candidate uses them as a tool to sell job relevant competencies.
Be Unique: Sublimation is a virtue when it comes to the job market. Be unique and get noticed! Start your letter in an interesting manner and hook the reader.
Employer centered: Convince the employer that you know their needs and are well capable of fulfilling the same. However it’s important to be genuine. Do not claim any qualification you do not possess.
