[Type the document title] [Year] Cover Letter A cover letter is a letter sent alongside your resume to introduce yourself, explain why you are sending in your resume, and provide more information about yourself. Definition A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. A cover letter typically provides detailed information on why you are qualified for the job you are applying for. Effective cover letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences. How to Write a Cover Letter? Writing a cover letter often seems like a particularly daunting task. However, if you take it one step at a time, you'll soon be an expert at writing cover letters to send with your resume. A cover letter typically accompanies each resume you send out. Your cover letter may make the difference between obtaining a job interview and having your resume ignored, so it makes good sense to devote the necessary time and effort to writing effective cover letters. Format Cover letters are generally one page at most in length, divided into a header, introduction, body, and closing.[2] Header. Cover letters use standard business letter style, with the sender's address and other information, the recipient's contact information, and the date sent after either the sender's or the recipient's address. Following that is an optional reference section (e.g. "RE: Internship Opportunity at Global Corporation") and an optional transmission note (e.g. "Via Email to jobs@example.net"). The final part of the header is a salutation (e.g., "Dear Hiring Managers"). [Pick the date] Introduction. The introduction briefly states the specific position desired, and should be designed to catch the employer's immediate interest. Body. The body highlights or amplifies on material in the resume or job application, and explains why the job seeker is interested in the job and would be of value to the employer. Also, matters discussed typically include
[Type the document title] [Year] skills, qualifications, and past experience. If there are any special things to note such as availability date, they may be included as well. Closing. A closing sums up the letter and indicates the next step the applicant expects to take. It may indicate that the applicant intends to contact the employer, although many favor the more indirect approach of simply saying that the applicant will look forward to hearing from or speaking with the employer. After the closing is a valediction (e.g. "Sincerely"), and then a signature line. Optionally, the abbreviation "ENCL" may be used to indicate that there are enclosures. A Few Things to Keep in Mind Do not over use I Instead, place the focus on the employer and use the word you Avoid writing more than one page; since you are probably competing with other applicants, employers just dont have the time to read two pages The point of the cover letter is to flesh out your resumes selling points not to repeat the same things that appear in your resume [Pick the date]
