BlackRock Cover letter
Right now I am looking to apply for a 2016 Summer Analyst internship in equities at BlackRock. I have listed the primary location in my application as Philadelphia with my secondary location as New York. I was wondering if anyone knew who I should address my cover letter to. On LinkedIn, I found a VP of recruiting in Philadelphia and a director of recruiting in New York. Should I be address my cover letter to one of these people or someone else? I am extremely interested in the position and want to increase the odds of landing an interview, even if it's a little.
I contacted their PA office and was told to use a general greeting because it will be pass through multiple people and that it is not a criteria. This makes sense. From everything I read on cover letters, there was a lot of emphasis to address it to the right person. Maybe at a smaller firm it is important, but at a larger firm there are many people involved in the hiring process. Just my thoughts...
When in doubt, something like "Summer Analyst Recruiting Team" is specific enough to show you care but general enough to not worry about being wrong.
