Customer Reviews

Old, dated, and of little use to me
The alleged "201 Killer Cover Letters" were written in 1995 according to the enclosed disk and are not very professional in my opinion. They are of little use in today's job market, again in my opinion.

The front cover claims one is able to "downplay your weaknesses" by adhering to the principles in this book. One of my weaknesses was purchasing this book in the first place.

Pretty good book
Most useful are the "do's & don'ts" for job hunting correspondence. These along with other common sense suggestions which escape many of us can be found in this book. Having the samples in both book and diskette form is useful as it saves time. However, the samples themselves are pretty much what one can find by logging on to almost any website career site. Nothing special except the convenience of having them in one spot.

A TRUE PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN COVER LETTER BOOK
A MUST READ COVER LETTER BOOK WHICH TRUELY EXEMPLIFIES WELL WRITTEN COVER LETTERS. PLEASE CHECK THIS ONE OUT LAST, SO THAT ONE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE, FEEL THE DIFFERENCE AND TRUELY CONVINCED TO BUY THE DIFFERENCE. ONE WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
