Job interview tip of the week: “Keep it conversational. Keeping the cover letter conversational is one of the best cover letter tips out there. Show some personality and the reader is less likely to crumple it up and shoot a basket. This type of language makes people feel like you have rapport even if you’ve never met,” according to interviewmastermind.com.
