6 Common Cover Letter Mistakes
Each month, I probably read at least 30 cover letters from sportscasters looking for jobs.
Here are a handful of common mistakes that people are making.
1. Copy and paste
Other than changing the name of the school, some people sent the exact same letter for MSU as they sent for Clemson.
2. Not stating your reason for interest
State in your opening paragraph what is it about that school that is attractive to you. Be sure to make it about them, not about you. Writing, “This would be a good opportunity for me because….” is hurting your letter, not helping.
