# TIPS & TRICKS #

Never Provide Email ID / Skype ID or any other Contact Info in Your Cover Letter (This is Against oDesk Policy) Make sure that each cover letter you send on oDesk is personalize and specific, to each job, that you are applying for. Never copy and paste your cover letters contents. Keep your cover letter short in length; only core message should have to deliver. Every single line in your oDesk cover letter should be written in a way, which will provide the employer an incentive to hire you. Show a high level of enthusiasm that you are accessible, prepared, and ready to start working with them. Avoid boring them to death with an essay; this will turn them off, from hiring you.
