Those who are unemployed as well as those who have a job right now should make efforts to keep their cover letters samples updated. We suggest this because you can not always know when you will need to have a cover letter ready to apply for a particular job.
You might miss out on a great opportunity if you do not have one of these samples handy but there is no harm in having one ready when you do not need it. Take the time to make sure your cover letter is up to date as often as necessary. Depending on the type of work you do and your current employment status you may not need to updated your cover letter more often than yearly. Those who are unemployed as well as those who are not happy with their current jobs may want to do this considerably more often.
Job seekers trying to climb the corporate ladder have to be especially careful about this. They should not be fooled into thinking there is no need to update the cover letter if they have not been promoted or changed companies. This is a very common mistake. Just because you have not changed jobs or companies does not mean your responsibilities have not changed.
You will never be caught unprepared if you update your cover letters samples regularly. Whenever you update your cover letter make sure it lets the employer know what job you want.
If you are using the same cover letter from when you acquired your current job, you have some work to do. Sure this cover letter was good enough to help you land your current job. However, if you want to move up, this will not do. You really do need to ensure the fact are current and valid. Any employer worth their salt will be checking every fact you state!
