Editor's Notes
- #27: So, I looked at the portfolio, and I was interested enough to want to know more. Now, back in Jobvite, I will look for your cover letter. Call me old fashioned, but the cover letter can tell me what kind of communicator you are.
- #28: In your cover letter, tell me why you’re excited about the opportunity
- #29: Show me you know something about storytelling. If you’re applying for a lot of positions, this might be hard to do but it’s totally worth it.
- #30: Have someone proofread it if you have to.
