arrogance or cockiness in your cover letter.
- Don't send out a general or
blanket cover. Customize it to fit each position to which you

short. If it is more than one page it is too long.

- Don't send your resume without a
complete spelling and grammar check.
- Don't be wordy.
- Don't forget to sign your
letter.
- Don't address the person by
their first name unless you have already received permission to do
so.

jargon.
- Don't exaggerate your experience
or say things you can not back up in the interview.
