I am grateful that I purchased The Art of the Cover Letter - it taught me a lot that I had not thought thoroughly, even after following your blog for almost three years and reading your recent book. As you have always said, understanding the importance of the cover letter cannot be overemphasized, but the amount of information you have to digest to actually write a good one is so overwhelming that it is sometimes hard to digest all at once. Even though I *thought* I understood what you had said in your blog and book, once I started doing the work itself I often forgot one part as I was focused on the other parts. So forcing myself to go step by step via the online module enabled me to review each part carefully, and I once again discovered numerous mistakes I made before.
