So I made this cover letter and thought it showed I’d be dedicated to their field and wanting to learn. While have experience and schooling in certain fields that may benefit their business. Then that I am really good with customers?
Though I showed my mom and grandma. My mom owns a photography business and my grandma used to do interviews for churches. My grandma said that it is absolutely amazing and perfect. While my mom simply just say don’t use it but literally won’t give any explanation into her thought process… so please can anyone let me know, would this be good to use for a job application or to take into the interview?
Both are based on the idea that someone is going to read your cover letter and form an opinion of you based on it.
I don't think you are going to get a lot of it unsolicited cover letters, and if you are applying for a specific position tailored is probably better than generic (assuming it gets read and they don't just feed your resume into a keyword hunting machine).
'Grateful for any position you think I would be suitable for.' is a rather weak ending. Might work for a church, probably not for a business. I don't think I've met a hiring manager who wanted to do anything as complex as seeing if they had a position to fit a candidate. Much easier to just post openings and let folk self select, then pick interview candidates via keyword search.
This might work better going to an agency, but honestly you should avoid agency work if you can at all help it. They largely just exist to cost more and pay employees less with less rights than you would have otherwise.
Ahhh ok that makes sense. So don’t say grateful for any position. Also yeah an agency isn’t what I’m looking for.
