Question

1 point
○ generic letters are always more professional
○ all employers require the same information
○ it shows you care and did research specific to that company
○ it makes the letter longer

when describing your skills in a cover letter, what should you do? *
1 point
○ provide real - life examples that back up your claims
○ just list them like in a resume
○ exaggerate your abilities
○ only mention skills you have used at paid jobs

Explanation:

For the first question: Generic letters are less targeted, employers have unique needs, and length does not add value. Personalizing shows you invested time in the company.
For the second question: Listing skills like a resume is redundant, exaggeration is unethical, and unpaid experience skills are also relevant. Real examples validate your skills.

Answer:

1. It shows you care and did research specific to that company
2. Provide real-life examples that back up your claims
