COVER LETTER CLICHÉS I love working with people! Avoid using the word love. Reserve that for your friends and family. Express your enthusiasm in a more specific way: "I enjoy..." or "I gain energy by..." I am great at solving problems. This very generic statement is used far too often. Show readers how you're good at problem solving through a story or example. I have wanted to do X my entire life! Refrain from exclaiming life-long goals to readers who may be your parents' age. Through this opportunity, I will learn/become a better communicator/experience personal growth... Save your personal gains for an in-person interview. I would like to learn more about X industry. This implies you haven't done your research. Instead, mention the skills you would like to master while on-the-job. I am the perfect match for your team. The job search is not a dating service. Find a better way to show how your strengths align with the position & company.
