Conveying Enthusiam without Sounding Like a Phony
Q: I've read that you should try to express your enthusiasm for a position through your cover letter. But how do you do that in one paragraph without coming across as a phony? A good point. The key is not to say that you are enthusiastic; that can sound phony. Instead, let your enthusiasm show...

Excessive I's in Emails/Cover Letters
I'm out of school searching for FT spots. At least half of the sentences in my introductory emails begin with "I". I can't find a way around this without making some sentences sound more awkward than they would be if they began with "I". For a 10ish sentence, ~140 word introductory email/cover...

Cover letter in email
Should you still include the regular header with name, title, address of the firm, etc. when including the cover letter in the body of the email or does Dear Mr./Ms. suffice? I'm pretty sure it's the second, but I just want to double check and be sure. Thanks.

For career website resume drops or online applications, I always see "cover letter - optional". When they say that, do they literally mean it's optional and don't care much if you have one, or is it more along the line of "the cover letter is optional, but us reading your application is also...
