Trish Sadar's insight:
Too much information and using fancy fonts are common mistakes! If you want to be safe with fonts, use Times New Roman or Arial.
Also, don't make yourself to look like a CEO when you are applying for a clerk position. Remember, the recruiter is not necessarily looking for the best candidate -- they are looking for the candidate who is the right fit for the position, department, and organization.

Nice article that addresses some of the common cover letter mistakes.
My quick tips:
-Personalize
-Customize
-Dummy proof your cover letter
Show in a concise way how your experience, competencies, and expertise is a match with your job opening. Personalize the letter by addressing to the hiring manager's name.
