Keep in mind that the first person who reads your cover letter may not possess the same breadth of knowledge as your future boss. In the course of a job search, it is tempting to use catch phrases that you may have picked up from various job-search reference materials, phrases that sound as though they should go in a cover letter. Improve upon these self-descriptions wherever possible by listing actual projects and goals. Once you begin working, employers will discover your personal attributes for themselves. While still under consideration for a position, concrete experiences are more valuable than vague phrases or obscure promises.
Action verbs make a cover letter come alive.
