Dynamic Cover Letters Revised

This is a great book with lots of sample cover letters. Although the book was published in 1998 and things have changed a bit since then( we use a lot more e-mail and lot less paper ), the material is still relavant and covers most professions.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. I have the 1995 edition that I purchased as a destitute college grad. Aside from my education, this book was probably one of the best investments I have made in my career. The book details how to write thoughtful, meaningful, and impactful (if that's a word) cover letters and thank you letters. As others have written, I have received so many complements from potential employers after having used the techniques in this book. I definitely recommend using it if you want to stand out. It has served me well.

This book makes it very easy to write cover tailored to each company and your specific circumstance. It is my most used job search reference. You will get interviews. My only criticism is I wish the thank you letter section was bigger and had more samples. Otherwise this book is a great help.

I used this book to create my cover letter. Potential employers have praised my cover letter; a recruiter asked me if she could use the same format for her career search.
