On one hand +TSRA says to put my personal experience that I think will be relevant and highlight personal treats that the resume will not, and on the other hand you say to make it personal. My experience won't change from one employer to another, unless I get actual related aviation experience, so it sounds like it is more of a one size fits all with minor adjustment for a given employer? Also keeping in mind I know nothing about the company I apply for, only that they are looking for a First Officer and my resume fits the minimum requirements. So as much as I would like to make it personal, it will be more on the lines of "fake it till you make it", if I'm being truly honest about it.
Or I just have no idea how to go about cover letters lol.
