Communication Etiquette
When you are sending a Cover Letter or an email to a potential employer using generic salutations like “To Whom It May Concern” or “Dear Hiring Manager” can come across as impersonal and lackluster.
Taking the time to address the recipient by name shows that you have put effort into your application and can help create a personal connection, in any case, you are not able to find the name of the hiring manager, proceed to use “Dear hiring manager” #AWU #disability #coverletter

In addition, her email address was showerspanky2120, which caught my attention but not in a positive way. As I was looking for a candidate who would conduct themselves in a professional manner representative of my business, the errors made me suspect of her level of education as well as her professional conduct. She was not chosen to be interviewed.
