Question

question 1
what is a key element that should always be included in a cover letter?
an explanation of why youre leaving your current role
evidence that you know about and understand the company
the names and contact information for your references
an anecdote about your personal interests

Explanation:

• Option 1: Explaining why you're leaving your current role is not a key element of a cover letter (it's more relevant to a resignation or interview context if asked).
• Option 2: A cover letter should show that you've researched the company and understand its goals, values, or needs, as this demonstrates your interest and fit for the role.
• Option 3: References' contact info is typically provided in a separate reference sheet or later in the hiring process, not in the cover letter.
• Option 4: Personal interest anecdotes are not a key, necessary element of a professional cover letter focused on job application.

Answer:

B. Evidence that you know about and understand the company
