Generic Letters Get Ignored
Hiring managers can spot a copy-paste cover letter in seconds. If it could apply to any job, it won't land you this one.
Don't Know What to Say

Time Pressure
The job posting closes tomorrow. You need a compelling cover letter tonight — not a weekend of agonizing over every word.
