Unfortunately below is another dodgy generic cover letter written by the same ‘cut and paste’ Adelaide CBD business – which actually operates out of Perth. This is one is a year old. It was written for a guy in the state’s north who wanted to get in to mining.
It’s waffle and contains no facts, no achievements, and doesn’t target the job. It’s closer to a list than a cover letter. He paid more than $140.00 for this as part of a package. NEVER, EVER send this to an employer. A cover letter must SELL the client. This rubbish does damage to the applicant’s reputation.

Like the previous example, it’s generic crap. Buyer beware.
