Simone is writing a cover letter to casey jones, and is unsure of the employers gender. how should she address her letter? a. dear casey jones: b. to whom it may concern: c. dear hiring manager: d. dear mr./ms. jones

If Simone is unsure of the employers gender, she should address her letter with: a. Dear Casey Jones

A résumé is a document that includes information such as your education, work history, skills, etc. Whereas a cover letter, covering letter, motivation letter, motivational letter or a letter of motivation is a letter of introduction attached to or accompanying another document such as a résumé or curriculum vitae,  to give more information about yourself.

If Simone is writing a cover letter to Casey Jones, and is unsure of the employer's gender, she should address her letter with: Dear Casey Jones, so avoid using Mr. or Mrs.  Simone should write the name of the recipient because she already knew about it. So, the answer b and c are incorrect. Whereas the answer d is not good because it makes the recipient (Casey Jones) know that Simone doesn't know the recipient gender.

Hope it helps!

The option a is correct.

She should address her letter as “Dear Casey Jones.”

Further explanation:

Cover Letter salutation: It is the greeting that the person writes at the starting of a cover letter when he applies for a job.

Justification for the correct and incorrect

a.

Dear Casey Jones: This option is correct.

The salutation like ‘Dear Hiring Manager’ should be used in the cover letter because they look professional and tells that person is interested in the job.

b.

To whom it may concern: This option is incorrect.  

The salutation like ‘to whom it may concern’ seems to be impersonal and gives the hiring person the impression that you are not interested in knowing whom you are addressing, so it should not be used in the cover letter.

c.

Dear Hiring Manager: This option is incorrect.  

The salutation like ‘Dear Hiring Manager’ should not be used in the cover letter if you knew the name of the person. It also seems to be impersonal and gives the hiring person the impression that you are not interested in knowing who you are addressing.

d.

Dear Mr./Ms. Jones: This option is incorrect.  

The salutation like ‘Dear Mr./Ms.’ should not be used in the cover letter; it looks unprofessional and little rude of the par of applicant.
