| Posted 21 days ago If I read this correctly, absolutely. The cover email you send in reply to a job posting should be an abbreviated version of your cover letter, highlighting one or two key strengths or accomplishments that pique interest and mirror the employers' job requirements. To avoid typos -- as well as to enhance efficieny -- I would create and save key points in a Word doc that you could then draw from to cutom tailor your response. |

| Posted 21 days ago MSI I am glad that I posted this. I took this querry as fitting their skill level and wanting to match their skill level ot the resume for that specific job. Let us assume foir a second that the job posting has four criteria and I meet three of those how would I personalize the email pushing those three points or do I want to even do that.
My personal opinion I would not want to personalize the job email or bring attention to the items I do not have.I am only assuming the question. Highlight the positives that match. The time is now to grow and learn as much as possible. Take action and responsibility for your actions

| Posted 20 days ago Absolutely. Highlight the positive. You might only have a second or two to get their attention -- especially if someone is reviewing it in a reading pane or on a Blackberry/PDA -- so lead with your best. |
