A Fax Cover
Letter
May Come in Different Styles
Should you use a fax cover letter format when corresponding with the
employer?
If the job posting does not specify how to deliver a resume and cover
letter, I would consider email, regular mail, in person as well
as faxing a cover letter.
Before you send your cover letter over to the organization, make sure
it is tailored to the specific position you are applying for.
I've provided a short paragraph with each type to show you how one
might write a cover
letter differently based on the position applying
for.
