Importance Of Cover Letters


A Cover Letter is a letter of introduction attached to, or accompanying another document such as a Resume or Curriculum Vitae. Your resume should always have a good Cover Letter attached, as a personal communication between you and the individual who receives the resume.

Tips 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.
  • Identify at least one thing about you that's unique, say a special talent for getting along with everybody at work, or some unusual skill that goes beyond the essential requirements of the position - something that distinguishes you AND is relevant to the job.
  • Make it clear which position you're applying for and just what experience or skill you have that relates to that position.
  • Keep it brief - a few short paragraphs, all on one page.
