How to grab readers attention with the first sentence?
Cover letters that start out in the same dry, boring manner as their counterparts may be doomed for the trash can. Starting out a cover letter differently than competitors may not only save it from the trash can, but may also get the much deserved attention from an applicant screener that earns an interview. Typically a cover letter only earns a short glance of a few seconds, so how a letter begins is of vital importance. Make sure the way your letter begins is different from the rest.
