Form letters . Mass mailings to employers are not always the best way to find a job. Most importantly, by taking this approach you cannot personalize each r sum and cover letter.

Do not include data such as your age, marital status, race, religion, or any other personal information unless you feel it directly pertains to the position you are seeking. Inappropriate stationery .
