Now you move on to the next step - preparing your resume and cover letter to get yourself into the position of being invited for an interview. Look up our past topics in Focus for the tips of Building a Successful Resume . Write your cover letter using the checklist below to ensure giving a good first impression to your prospective employer. Sample letter (for fresh graduates) Checklist for a perfect cover letter Address the right person Name the correct title as it's advertised Precise and concise Tailored for the specific job ... The right letter is in the right envelope with the right address Address the right person Read the job ad carefully and pay special attention to the person your application is addressed to. Don't take it for granted and address "Dear Sir" when it's obviously a female recipient. It looks even worse when you address "Dear Human Resources Manager" but the ad says to the "General Manager". It's only the start of the letter and you don't want the reader to stop there and discard your application. Name the correct title as it's advertised Make sure you are naming the job correctly. You may be applying for a few positions at the same time but don't mix up. Have the Position in bold to catch the reader's attention so that he or she won't get mixed up either. Making the recruiters' job easier is not your duty but you should do everything possible to get your application to stand out from all the rest. Do include the job reference number if you are requested to do so.

Too bad. You probably just blew your chance to be hired. Your hastily written missive missed the mark and you misspelled the target company's name. A great cover letter is the golden key to any job search. Yet despite a glut of advice books and Web sites, an estimated 85% of cover letters are so flawed that senders never land an interview, career coaches say. Even experts err. An "ideal" letter sent to me by one career counselor contained this sentence fragment in the first paragraph: "With a great deal of interest." Looking elsewhere for how to craft a compelling cover letter, I turned to Lisa Jacobson, a frustrated small-business owner, and Deborah J. Storz, a marketing specialist whom she hired last spring. Their sage advice may be worth heeding as the employment rebound gathers speed.

Purpose of the Cover Letter Helpful Tips in preparing a Cover Letter Guidelines to follow in writing the letter Sample Cover Letter ... Cover Letter Basics from Quintessential Careers PURPOSE OF COVER LETTER A cover letter is used to: Introduce yourself and ask for consideration of your qualifications for a position with that organization. Summarize your qualifications for a particular position or for any position in that organization. Direct the employer's attention to something specific on your enclosed resume concerning your background and their needs. Communicate your interest in and enthusiasm for the position and that employer. Ask the employer for an interview. COVER LETTER TIPS Your resume should be accompanied by a cover letter when mailed to prospective employers. Type the cover letter on the same color and quality of paper that you used for your resume. You should single space the letter and double space between the paragraphs. Your cover letter should be prepared individually for each employer. Ideally, you should research each employer and be able to note something unique about that organization or position.

100. Damn Good Resume; Cover Letter Guide Many job hunters are intimidated by the task of writing a cover letter, but it snot that hard if you think of it as just a friendly, simple communication from http://www.damngood.com/catalog/exmpl/coverLtrGuide.html

C o v e r L e t t e r From: Resume Catalog: 200 Damn Good Examples , 1996 edition Your resume should always have a good COVER LETTER attached, as a personal communication between you and the individual who receives the resume. Many job hunters are intimidated by the task of writing a cover letter, but it's not that hard if you think of it as just a friendly, simple communication from one person (who's looking for a good job) to another (who's looking for a good employee). It is in the interests of both parties to make a good connection! How To Write a Good Cover Letter Be sure to address your cover letter by name and title to the person who could actually hire you. When it's impossible to learn their name, use their functional title, such as "Dear Manager." You may have to guess ("Dear Selection Committee") but never say "To whom it may concern" or "Dear Sir or Madam"! Show that you know a little about the company , and that you are aware of their current problems, interests, or priorities. Express your enthusiasm and interest in this line of work and this company. If you have a good idea that might help the employer resolve a problem currently facing their industry, offer to come in and discuss it.
