“I … think a personal approach in the search process is always the best,” said Norine Dagliano in the Q&A interview she did with Quint Careers. “The cover letter provides job-seekers an opportunity to ‘speak’ to the employer in their own words; to give the employer a little ‘window into their personality;’ to address the employer’s needs by describing specific contributions they are prepared to make. We don’t want to rewrite the resume for each job, but a well-constructed cover letter can expand upon the resume and bring to the employer’s attention the key selling points to be considered.”
