Will This Look Bad...

I am in the process of applying for jobs and my question is:

When I write a cover letter and I am unsure of the nurse recruiters name is it ok to start out with Dear Sir or Madam, ???

Thanks for any info

It would look okay but is there anyway you could call the facility and find ou the name via HR?

I even saw a cover letter that started with "Dear (name of facility)". I think that looks better than "Dear Sir/Madame"

That would look less personal. Can you contact the facility before you submit the resume and ask to whom you address your resume (attention...)

Yes I will do that. It won't seems weird that I am calling HR to get the nurse recruiters name?

Absolutely not! It shows an interest because you took the time to do so.
