<br />
1. It Is Too Long. And 1a. It’s Not on Letterhead. And 1b. It must follow proper letter norms of etiquette<br />
2. You Are Telling, Not Showing.<br />
3. You Drone On and On About Your Dissertation<br />
4. Your Teaching Paragraph is All Drippy and Pathetic<br />
5. You Present Yourself as a Student, Not a Colleague<br />
6. You Don’t Specify Publication Plans<br />
7. You Don’t Have a Second Research Project<br />
8. You Didn’t Do Your Homework<br />
9. You’re Disorganized and Rambling<br />
10. You Didn’t Tailor<br />
