How to spice up the opening of a cover letter ?
A boring introduction in a cover letter does not do much – except maybe put the reviewer out of interest and perhaps the whole application into the trash can. What an unfortunate scenario! There’s a way to keep a boring cover letter from causing an application to meet a fatal end – spice up the opening to draw interest. An interesting, spicy opening will keep an employer reading. Avoid cliches and catch phrases, as they are just a waste of space and annoying. Create something original to open the letter with. Use the first paragraph to tell the employer why you are writing, that you are qualified, and include details that will make them want to get to know you.
