Here is the Cover Letter
Analysis:
- The candidate has let loose his creativity in this cover letter
- Advertisement specifically asked for someone who prides themselves with code writing; the candidate wrote a static & dynamic code on this cover letter
- Observe the greeting message in the code, “I’m an expert software code writer” Of course the text box contents used in the letter could have been better but all in all I would say that this cover letter ends up ticking most of the boxes as discussed in Part 3
Feel free to reach me if you have any questions.
