Bullet points and your
cover letter: should you dare? According to this article, it’s okay to make
limited use of bullets in your letter:
Bullets are dingbats—a
typography technical term, meaning a bit of type that is neither letter nor
number. Bullets visually set off lists of elements, including the kinds of lists
you are more likely to reach for as you compose your resume. Business writing
tends to work better in short, bite-sized bits rather than the “wall o’ text”
style you’ve been working with in essays about literature.
And here is another
article with information on how to develop a tightly-structured bullet-point
list, including concerns such as
- parallel grammatical structure,
- visual page composition, and
- length of bulleted text items.
Yup, that was a bulleted list!
