Two "taboos" in a cover letter [Copy link]

Some of the self-recommendation materials published in newspapers give people a sense of being flashy and superficial. Whether writing a cover letter to a company or placing a job advertisement in the media, you should pay attention to the following two issues. 1. Avoid flattering yourself. Some job seekers often put on the hat of experts, which makes experts feel very hypocritical. Whether you are an expert or not, you can't say it yourself, nor can you find a few friends to write a few articles to brag about it. 2. Avoid showing off your past experience. For various reasons, some people have gone through many detours in the process of growth and can't stay in many companies for a long time. This is understandable. A person's success cannot be smooth sailing. But some people regard this as capital and show off everywhere, which is a big mistake. The author knows a 30-year-old young man who said that he has had a glorious experience as general manager or deputy general manager in more than 10 companies, and he has been appreciated by the boss. Some people can't help but question why you still want to leave? Complex experience is a kind of tempering for people, but when applying for a job, the company wants to know the reason for your departure. You might as well tell the reason for your failure, which will give people a sense of honesty. Don't blame your former boss too much for not knowing how to use people. If you brag too much about yourself, you will give people a superficial impression, which will make it difficult for your new boss to entrust you with important tasks. From your self-recommendation materials, you can see not only a person's experience, but also a person's character.

This degree is hard to grasp. :funk:

Haha, it's really not easy to grasp. If you don't tell others, others will think you know nothing. If you tell others, others will think you are flashy and unrealistic. Haha

You still have to look at the characteristics of the letter writer. If he is someone who likes to be fooled, you will suffer if you write too honestly; if he is a down-to-earth person, you will be cut off if you write too fancy. So you still have to treat people differently.

Basically, it is quite difficult to deal with. My experience is to write a general cover letter so that he can't see any problem. Then talk to him in detail and stun him. Then you have won.

Therefore, the reliable approach is to first find out more about this person from other sources, and then prescribe the right medicine.
