Question

Your unemployed friend Seymour sent you a test of his electronic cover letter. You see that he is struggling with the appropriate format, causing the letter to be very difficult to read. What suggestions might you offer to improve his electronic cover letter? What advice would you give him so that he impresses potential employers?

Answer 1

As a friend, I would suggest Seymour to improve the format of the cover letter. The format of the cover letter comprises three main parts: the introduction, the body, and the closing.

I would advise him to pay attention to every section and draft an employer-centric cover letter, where he clearly mentions the position he is applying for and highlights his unique education, experience and relevant skills in a concise manner. To achieve the same, the best practise would be to put the information in a straightforward and simple manner so that it is easy for the employer to understand and evaluate the profile.

Answer 2

tell him to put less information with more details.

Instead of putting large amounts of small information in a cover letter, he should be putting small amounts of information with smaller details, a cover letter is explaining you and your backround better to the employers to see if you're what they want, and to get to know your backround better. If Seymour puts his little important details of information he will have a better chance at impressing the employers.
