Here are six important tips that will help you ace your phone interview. One of the most common questions asked of job search experts is, “Do I really need a cover letter?" To set the record straight, yes, a cover letter is necessary. The cover letter influences the reader's first impression of you. It serves to sell you as a viable candidate or it knocks you out of the running. Employers rarely take the time to read resumes thoroughly, at least not on the first go-around. Statistics show that they spend a maximum of 10 to 15 seconds scanning a resume to determine the candidate's fit before they decide to keep or toss the application. If you are a job seeker, you need to stand out from the crowd. But it can be difficult to know for sure what to highlight about yourself, especially when you have the same skill set as everyone else who applied for the position.
