Cover Letter Heading When Dont Know Name. Because you need to know and even more. Dont assume gender or marital status.
The address doesnt have to be a big deal. Review the original job advertisement or the companys public website for department information. If you do have a name but arent sure of the persons gender one option is to include both the first name and the last name in your salutation without any sort of title that reveals gender.
Dont assume gender or marital status.
Writing a cover letter regardless of how it is addressed still puts you a step ahead of the 45 percent of job seekers who skip writing one altogether. Try something such as Dear Acme Hello Communications Director or Hi Sales Hiring Committee. Dont submit an unedited cover letter. Address it to the hiring manager.
