An Effective Salutation

Today’s job search tip; Instead of addressing your cover letters with To Whom it may concern, we recommend you try:

To whom I can’t be bothered to figure out who this letter is going to due to the fact that I am mass mailing out résumés at this moment and know it would be impossible to keep of track of names anyway and besides I have no idea what positions you have open or if I am able to meet the qualifications you seek however I am confident that the lifetime resume I am sending you will demonstrate that somewhere in my twenty years in the workforce I have worked in an environment where I knew someone who has a relative that worked in an industry exactly like yours:

Any questions?

Your comments are welcome.
