Want to boost your chances in the job-hunting game? Use a hook - or some sort of personal connection - in your cover letter. This can reap rewards ranging from winning an interview to receiving a job offer. The key is finding that common thread and using it in your contact with the prospective employer. As you begin your research on a prospective employer, keep an eye out for any clues that could connect you with the company or hiring manager.
