What salutation should be used when person's name is not known??
This is for a cover letter, in response to a job listing posted on the
Internet. I don't like the thought of using - Dear Sir or Madam, one suggestion I was given - Dear Potential Employer. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

I sometimes just address the company: Dear General Electric, Dear Microsoft,
etc. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your reply,
my bad for not being more specific, I don't know the company name either, it is one of those "Send resume to this PO box", so it is a totally blind experience, Thanks again, drg2112 |

In that case, I'd go with "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom It May Concern."

Dear drg2112,
I've always had success by addressing my letters to the attention of the "Hiring Manager" and then using the salutation of "Dear Sir or Madam", as Suzanne suggested. You can't go wrong with that, especially if the company advertising hasn't revealed any information about themselves. I generally find that jobs listed on the Internet that don't have any traceable corporate information or even an address that one can verify, are a bit suspect at times...I would proceed with a bit of caution with this one. Best regards and good luck with finding that job! Karen |
