Question

An excerpt of an introduction of a cover letter about a Marketing position.
Which type of cover letter would the above excerpt come from?
a.
Prospecting cover letter
b.
Networking cover letter
c.
Application cover letter
d.
Follow up cover letter

Answer 1

I don’t see the excerpt — could you paste the actual introduction text?

Meanwhile, here’s how to tell the types apart so you can spot it:

- Prospecting: unsolicited note to a company asking about possible openings; doesn’t refer to a posted job.
- Networking: sent to a contact or someone in your network asking for information, advice, or referrals; often mentions a mutual connection.
- Application: sent in response to a specific job posting; names the position and where you found it.
- Follow-up: sent after you’ve applied or interviewed; refers to previous contact and asks for an update or reiterates interest.

If you paste the excerpt I’ll identify which type it is and explain why.
