Writing cover letter- What do I wright after "Dear" when no name given?
Question:
1) It's "Write"
2) "To Whom It May Concern" is acceptable.
The acceptable greeting is "To Whom It May Concern"
Some letter writing books say to use "Dear Sir/Madam" but that sounds to much like an opening for an advertisement.
You Write:
Dear Sirs,
Dear Sir or Madam,
To whom it may concern,
You don't WRIGHT anything!! Make absolutely sure to use your spell checker when sending your letter!!
You may write
1) Dear Sir or Madam:
2) To Whom it May Concern:
Good luck in your job search!
I would put "To whom it may concern" or Dear Pontential Employer.
Dear (Residents, Miss/Mister, Receiver of This Letter)
To Whom It may Concern
To Whom It May Concern:
Human Resources,
Dear Sir or Madam:
Spelling aside, you don't write ANYTHING until you call them and find out who is responsible for hiring! You get their first and last name along with exactly how to spell both (John Smith isn't acceptable when his name is Jon Smythe).
If the ad says "No calls", then go to their website and see if there's any information there. Yes, it's a hassle...but if you want the job, there's no room for slacking!
Managers notice when you take the initiative. It sets you apart from all the people who write "To Whom It May Concern:"...and as you can see, that's the easy and common way out. Common candidates don't get noticed OR hired.
Dear Sir/Madam or Dear Personal Director
