Question

question 1 of 10
which statement about a cover letter is true?

a. cover letters should explain the applicant’s future intentions and goals.

b. cover letters should be funny and appeal to the emotions of potential employers.

c. cover letters should clearly state the applicant’s lowest salary requirements.

d. cover letters should provide a detailed list of each job the applicant has held.

Explanation:

• Option A: A cover letter is a professional document where applicants can explain their career intentions, goals, and how they align with the job, which is appropriate.
• Option B: Cover letters should be professional, not focused on being funny or emotional appeals, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Stating salary requirements (especially the lowest) in a cover letter is not standard practice and can be off - putting, so C is wrong.
• Option D: A detailed job history is part of a resume, not a cover letter. A cover letter should highlight relevant experiences, not list all jobs, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Cover letters should explain the applicant’s future intentions and goals.
