A Rowan Alum's Journey: What's this Cover letter you speak of?

By: Dan Linn

You know

It’s Funny

About 300 PR students,

And over 700 Advertising and Communication students

Attend Rowan University,

Every semester with the sole purpose of attaining a job and start their career. But a simple yet all important aspect of attaining said job is rarely ever discussed. A cover letter provides a potential employer valuable insight into your writing skills and personality traits. The body you can highlight any skills or accomplishments that separate you from other applicants.

However it can be a double edged sword. An employer may find a glaring spelling misteak or even a misplaced comma, or colon. It’s important to go over your cover letter with a fine tooth comb, because first impressions can be hard to shake.

I thank you for your time, and hope someone actually reads this thing.


Respectfully,
