7 words in your cover letter that lead to an interview
Most people fill their cover letters with meaningless words like proactive, team player, and go-getter because they think these words will get them noticed by recruiters and HR managers.
But the truth is that everyone uses these meaningless words, and recruiters and HR managers just have to believe your blue eyes in this way. And then don’t, because they don’t even get to see it. It is better to use active verbs instead.
So you do not tell your qualities (such as a team player), but use active verbs to show that you are a team player.
