How Do You Address A Blind Cover Letter?
A cover letter accompanies a resume and describes why you are the right fit for the job. A blind cover letter is difficult to write–and address–because you are sending it to a company that has not advertised a position. It may take some extra legwork to ensure a blind cover letter gets where it needs to go. Visit the company’s website and find the name of the head of the department you are interested in. An employee in an advisory position in human resources may work as well. Make a call. Call the company you want to apply to and ask the person who answers the phone who you should address your cover letter to. Contact your local chamber of commerce. It may have the names of important contacts within local companies.
