control issues, and when i get deep onto writing, it becomes too much about the writing and what i want to say. letters and conversations are about exchange, and you have to make room for the other individual in each exchange.
some people won’t bite. you won’t get into a conversation. but that is always true with cover letters, long or short. to have the chance for a face to face, you have to stand out, both with content (you have done the right things to even be considered), and with style (you get it; you know what’s important).
