I am usually home after 3 p.m. each weekday. Some Reminders 1. Write to a specific person if possible. Check the University Placement Center for current names and addresses. Present you message concisely, clearly, honestly, with consideration for your reader.
Desirable length is usually a one-page letter.
Give specific and pertinent information relative to the position you seek. Include enough facts to be convincing. Be yourself and don't use canned messages. Your letter should reveal your individuality. Personnel executives easily recognize and react negatively toward canned messages that sound as if they've been copied from a textbook or written by an employment agency.
