Addressing A Cover Letter

Addressing cover letter?

If I do not have a name, I usually write Dear Hiring Manager or Dear Sir. (Dear Sir is acceptable even if addressed to a woman when a name is not given)

Good Luck

Addressing a cover letter?

I am trying to write a cover letter for an internship position at Lockheed martin, however the application is online and the person recruiting is not named, so i was wondering what would be the best way to address the cover letter..

Who do you address in a Cover Letter?

When you don't have a name to address someone with in the cover letter is it Okay to say
......TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN.....?

I am applying for a position online at a bank (National City)

Who do you address a cover letter to?

So I'm emailing a Denny's Restaurant for a job as a server and it doesn't state who the person is who posted the advertisement especially because the ad it set up for not just one location. I know I'm not supposed to write "Dear Manager", but what do I write then? Do I write "Dear Denny's Restaurant"? (I obviously don't have much experience in this field :P)

Who should I address the cover letter to?

I think it is great that you are commited to sending cover letters. In this job market, you should be doing anything you can to differentiate yourself (while remaining proffessional!) and a well written cover letter does just that.

When you don't have a name, it is best to simply use: Dear Hiring Manager. I know it seems very impersonal, but you don't want to risk addressing it to the wrong person.

One more piece of advice, if you do have a name (perhaps there is one a the job requisition) always use it exactly as it is listed. for example, you would say Dear Stacey Jones and not Dear Mrs. Jones. Never assume gender.

Best of luck to you on your job search!

Should I address my cover letter to a Mrs. or Ms. ?

Traditionally, "Mrs." was used for married women and "Miss" was used for unmarried women. The problem, of course, was that the English language only made the married / unmarried distinction for women. Men were always "Mr." regardless of their marital status.

That is why we now use "Ms." as a formal way to address women that does not make a distinction based upon marital status. You should always use "Ms." when addressing a women in a formal manner unless you know she prefers "Ms." or "Mrs."
