This book offers really good information on what potential employees should include in their cover letters. Before reading this book, I was well on my way to making some major mistakes in my cover letter that I had never considered before. As a recent master's level graduate pursuing my first professional form of employment, I was quite nervous about initiating contact with employers, as well as writing a resume that would not scream "fresh out of college." I would strongly recommend this book not only to recent graduates, but to anyone seeking employment in a professional setting.
