You spent hours tweaking your resume and cover letter until it is just right. One sure way to ensure that your resume gets put in the rejected pile is to say that you want to work for “ABC Company.”  I think that it is great that you want to work for  ABC but we’re not ABC.  In fact, we’re ABC’s competitor.  If you are going to personalize your resume and/or cover letter, then please make sure to proofread it at least once.  Even if you use spell check, I recommend that you have one or two people proof read your resume as well.  There are certain things that even spell check can not fix.
