This book is an excellent resource for college students and recent graduates. It guides the reader through the basic format of a cover letter, and includes appropriate ways to tailor it based on various circumstances. It also instructs the reader on using attention-grabbing wording and warns against some common pitfalls of letter-writing. The book also reveals helpful ways of making use of a cover letter on the internet. The best feature, though, is the extensive set of sample letters included. The author uses actual cover letters she has received to illustrate points within the text. This book is highly recommended to anyone who is new to job hunting, or who could use a little extra help in securing interviews.

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.

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 really haven't looked at the book yet, but it seems to be in good condition and I received it in a reasonable amount of time. I'm sure when I get a chance to read it, it will help me write a good letter, hopefully it will help me get some interviews.
