Don't Forget Contact Information in Cover Letter

Continuing our series on a survey on cover letters conducted by Robin Ryan, author of Winning Cover Letters. Ryan relates, “One human resource specialist sent along a cover letter that had no address or phone number on it. She sarcastically wrote, ‘Don’t you just love this? We couldn’t contact this person even if we wanted to.’ ALWAYS include your address, email, and home or cell telephone number on your letter. Be certain the numbers and email are legible.”
