BTW, BCC will leave you SOL
First things first. I need to give myself a high five for that title. <high five>. Now, I must drink some celebratory chocolate milk. <gulp>. Now, the post.
Don’t you dare ever send out a single cover letter to a bunch of different jobs. If you do that then stop reading this blog because you’re wasting your time. You’re a lost cause. Ok, that was a bit harsh, but I’m hoping it will help you learn never ever to send the same cover letter to a bunch of jobs. Every cover letter must be personalized to the job you’re applying to.
The easiest way for a company to tell that your letter is not personalized is that if they were BCC’d. Never in the history of cover letters has a letter that has been sent BCC ever been read. Don’t you dare do it. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
