This the best book I have seen on cover letters. Many excellent sample letters! Also, author's step-by-step instructions on each type of cover letter makes letter writing an absolute breeze! Stongly recommend this book to anyone!

This book, as the title implies, provides many excellent cover letters, however, it is poor in specifics. Unlike other books, this one contains very general advice and some statistics. I would recommend this book to those that want to get a sense of what other people's letters look like. I find that spending time dissecting these letter to be time consuming and tedious.

Books that I would recommend are:

"The Elements of Resume Style" by Scott Bennett and
"15 Minute Cover Letter" by Michael Farr and Louise Kursmark

The example cover letters where very helpful. I am looking for a job and I have used the cover letter as an guide in helping me create my own. I always receive a phone call or letter of response.

Best book I've seen on cover letters, an I've reviewed a few! Was extremely helpful to me in my job search.

Author does a great job of describing how to write a variety of different cover letters. I particularly liked his step-by-step, by-the- numbers approach. Makes cover letter writing a breeze! Highly recommended!

I just want to clarify that my review is on the Kindle edition. I felt the book was helpful as far as reading the text. However, it was impossible to read the 175 samples which was a key element for me purchasing the book. Not having the ability to see all these letters defeated the purpose of purchasing it in the first place.

Este libro, junto con el de "Resumés" presenta una fantástica colección de Cartas de Presentación para todo tipo de trabajos. Incluso cubre modalidades poco exploradas tipo Cartas-CV o cartas referenciando a terceros que forman parte de tu networking.

A mi modo de ver, le faltaría un poco más de organización a la hora de agrupar las cartas, es complicado en este caso (y curiosamente no lo es en el de Resumés) el diferenciar el trabajo al que va destinada la carta, salvo si uno lee la carta.

Por lo demás, los ejemplos son muy buenos y prácticos.
