Some people find writing cover letters difficult, especially if they haven't needed to look for work in a while. This book is a great refresher providing solid, grounded examples with good descriptions of do's and don't's.

For people who are visual learners there are plenty of examples so the patterns of good letters begin to emerge from the specific examples allowing the reader to internalize the lessons.

Given how little formal business correspondence is emphasized today this book will help the reader stand out from other job seekers and professionals. Well worth your time and money.
