Summary: The suggestions are good...the example letters are lacking
Comment: I found the suggestions in the book to be helpful. Unfortunately, many of the example cover letter failed to follow the guidelines. For instance, on page 47, "Don't tell them what you want them to do or that you'll call to schedule an interview." The cover letter on page 153 says, "I will call in approximately two weeks to discuss how I hope to contribute to your school." The cover letter on page 158 says, "Please contact me at the above address..." As long as the reader is aware of the inconsistencies, it is not a big deal. Just don't plan on using every word from any given cover letter!

Summary: A good book, especially for classified ads
Comment: This is a well-written book. It covers the basics of a job search, including chapters on resumes, interviewing, and job hunting. I appreciated the large number of example letters, but they are very focused on cold letters. There are only a very few letters for jobs you have been referred to, and few letters for someone without a lot of experience. I have found this book to be an excellent resource for most job hunting situations, but I wish they had skipped the resume and interview chapters for more examples.

Summary: The Title Says It All
Comment: This is deffinatly a book you can judge by its cover. It is what it says it is, everything you need to know when writing a cover letter. This guide offers valuable pointers on writing a cover letter and gives helpful tips on what to do and not to do when writing a cover letter, resume, etc. There are even sample letters for virtually every type of job application (including student and graduate). The book also gives examples of poor cover letters and a revised version of the same letters pointing out common but crucial mistakes many people make when applying for a job. Bottom line: very helpful in making the applicant look more professional and experienced even on the first interview.
