Everyone Needs A Great Cover Letter

Everyone, experienced or not, who is looking for a job and sends out resumes NEEDS a Cover Letter.

It is not an option. As a serious job seeker, you should have a professional cover letter, and you should send one with every resume you submit.

Your cover letter must be capable of professionally introducing you and your CV to an employer and:

• Emphasize your strengths and qualifications
  
• Demonstrate your intelligence by providing a sample of your
  written communication skills
  
• Establish your credibility
  
• Create a professional image of you.

Learn why speculative letter writing may not be the best way for you to make your job applications and why the example below will give you a great start to your letter writing.

Inexperienced Applicant: Simple Cover Letter

Full Version of the Simple Cover Letter Begins...

Mr. Stavros Kaldiki Director of Home Relations Lifetime Corporation 195 Greavy Blvd. Palmanova, PA 19085 27 August 2008 Dear Mr. Kaldiki Sales Representative - New York Times - 4th August 2010 Your advert for the above described position really interests me because the range of skills I have developed from my work experience and academic background give support to my genuine interest in a sales career and make me an ideal candidate for the role. As you will see from my resume, the internship I had with Ballifor Corporation provided a unique opportunity for me to gain practical experience with account maintenance and cold-calling new accounts. In addition, I have worked as a table-waiter for the past three years, learning at first hand how to effectively deal with customers and their demands. I have been formally rewarded several times, being named ‘Employee of the Month’ four times in total. Since I decided to pursue a sales career, Lifetime Corporation has been at the top of my list of prospective employers. The progress your company has made in the computer software market, particularly the development of packages for use by pharmacies and hospitals, makes Lifetime a leader in every sense and I would be so excited to get involved. I would very much like an opportunity to speak with you regarding the sales representative position. May I call you late next week to discuss my qualifications for the position? Alternately you can reach me in the meantime at (618) 555-1111. Thank you for considering me for this position. Yours Most Sincerely, Jack J. Kollinski Enclosure
