My plan to find employment/Help with Cover Letter...?

I have been laid off for a little over a year now and have applied to so many places online with basically no success. So my plan is to put on my best suit tomorrow and go around to local offices and etc. with a cover letter and resume and use my god given gift of gab and hopefully find some places that are looking for extra help. I have experience and education in the fields of IT (A+ certified), Instruction with a Associates in Education, and In-bound Sales/lead generation.

Since I am going to various different types of employers I am having a challenge writing my cover letter. A lot of the ones I have written in the past are specific to a certain job that had a title so I'm not sure what to do.

Should I focus on my work experience and traits mostly?

Who/How should I address the beginning of my cover letter?

and any other pointers would be a big help! Thanks!

    You do not need to address the cover letter to anyone. Just head it up as "Cover Letter"

    I agree you cannot personalise your cover letter, so do as you say, and focus on your work experience and traits.
