Question

How should a cover letter begin?

Answer 1

Answer:

How should a cover letter begin?

A. With an informal greeting like "Hey, there!"

B. With the hiring manager's name

C. With the name of the position

D. With "To Whom it May Concern"

Explanation:

A cover letter is a written document intended as a complement to the resume where additional information related with skills and experience can be included. The cover letter should be personalized for the job being applied to, where a detailed description about why you are qualified to the job should be included. It is a way to demonstrate you are familiar with the position you are applying to and the employer, and is a good way to complement the more impersonal resume. Since the cover letter should be personalized depending on the job or company you are applying to, it should be addressed to a specific person, generally the hiring manager. Writing "To whom it may concern" may look too impersonal and/or generic, and it only should be used if you absolutely couldn't find the specific person you are writing to.

Answer 2
