Don’t let a poorly written cover letter be the reason you don’t get an interview.

There’s a lot of information out there about what should and shouldn’t go into your cover letter. You’re definitely going to want to do some research before you start to revamp yours. To start, here’s what you should avoid doing in your cover letter.

Alex is 60 years old and looks great for his age. He’s convinced he is being discriminated against in job interviews. He’s changed his resume so that his age doesn’t show. When he gets to interviews, he can tell they are surprised by his age. He tries hard in the interview to show how much value the company will get by hiring someone with his level of experience, but they always seem to end the conversation by saying, “We think you are overqualified and wouldn’t enjoy it here. You’d get bored quickly.” What can he do to offset that mindset?
