Summary of Correspondence Tips
- Use a standard business style format and 8 1/2" X 11" paper.
- Type all letters. Employers type even personal notes, so follow
suit
- Address letters to a particular individual, and use his/her
correct title.
- Never duplicate a letter; each must be an original.
- Make paragraphs average in length.
- Always send a letter with a resume, never a resume alone.
- Check your work carefully for grammar and spelling. It is a good
idea to have someone else proofread it.
- Be wary of suggestions to use gimmicky attention-getters,
overzealous or desperate sounding phrases, and exaggerated praise of
the employer.
