what is the proper salutation for a resume cover letter?
The salutation in a cover letter, if done correctly, shows that you are polite and considerate and really interested in the job. Dear Mr. or Ms. Unless the person is a doctor or has another title, use Mr. for men and Ms. for women. Try to avoid using Miss or Mrs. for women to avoid any offense. Always use the name of the person to whom you should address the cover letter.
