Writing a Cover Letter? |
I am going to write a cover letter. I need tips and advice on what to include and how to best sell myself. The format for a cover letter is standard. Your letter should conform to acceptable business practice. The first paragraph of the letter should establish: Why you are writing. What position you are applying for. And how you found out about the position. The second paragraph provides you the opportunity to match your unique skills and abilities with those required for the position. You need to direct the employer to your resume and then state those assets that do not appear on your resume but that qualify you for the position. The third paragraph is your closing paragraph. It states your appreciation for the employer鈥檚 time and consideration, and when you will contact him or her to set up an appointment. An acceptable closing is Yours truly, or Very truly yours or Sincerely Here is an example of a good cover letter. 498 Blackstone Drive Malvern, New York 13341 February 15, 2007 Mr. Jack Sample Managing Director All City Clubs, Inc. 213 West 33 Street, Suite 403 New York, NY 11093 Dear Mr. Sample: Enclosed is my resume in application for the Counselor Training Program that was advertised in the New York Times on Saturday, February 15, 2007.
