LETTER TIPS
Choose a
cover letter style - there are different types of cover
letter styles that you can use. These include narrative,
two-column (your requirements vs. my qualifications) and the
use of both paragraphs and bulleted statements to list key
achievements.
Do not be
general in your cover letter -
before you sit down to write
your cover letter, make sure it is about you and not too
general. Give careful thought to the position you are
applying for and why you feel you are right for the job. Try
to be as interesting as possible.
Be sure to
personalize your cover letter - if you are going to
gain inspiration from cover letter samples, be sure to
infuse your letter with specifics that allow the reader to
understand who you are professionally. You do not want to
give the impress
A cover
letter is still a formal business letter - date and
personally address your cover letter if you have the
contact's name and address. If you do not, use whatever
information is provided in the job advertisement.
Express
your reason for contacting the company - indicate where
you saw their ad and introduce yourself by telling them what
your intentions are for contacting them. For example, state
that you are seeking a particular position or that you are
transitioning your career.
Let them
know what your career path and direction are - mention
the types of positions you have held and with what types of
companies and industries.
