Most of the jobs that I'm applying for are so similar that there isn't a major difference. Cover letters are always a toss up for me. I've seen too many bosses just tear them off and throw them away. That knowledge makes it difficult to want to spend the time to perfect and personalize them. But there's the trade off because this one particular hiring manager might really care about them.

If you can include content from the post directly into your cover letter or resume, it makes you appear to be an applicant that wants the job more than others. when hunting for work i always make up a few different resumes geared towards the different types of jobs that I’m applying for, and i’ll almost always customize towards the specific posting.
