Use the same font type, font size and quality laser printing as
found on your resume.
Be concise and do not exceed one page.
Limit your usage of "I" at the start of every sentence (refer to
page 4 of The Cover Letter Section for a list of 'Sentence
Starters.').
Include your phone number with an active voice mail as well as a
professionally minded email address (i.e. do not use email
addresses such as hottymama@aol.com or the
like).
Be honest and be ready to back all your claims with an example
of a prior experience.
Spell check all documents and have at least two others proofread
your resume and cover letter for errors.

Advisor.
