COVER LETTER TIPS- WHAT TO DO … Once you find a position that sounds promising, you should be ready to apply for it. Some ads might ask you to call for an appointment. More often, the ad will instruct you to submit a written resume. Always include a cover letter when you send your resume to a company.

W HAT TO DO … While you may send the same resume to several different companies, you must write a new cover letter each time to show your interest in working for a particular company. As you prepare your cover letter, follow these tips:

TIPS: Identify the position for which you are applying. Mention how you found out about the position. Include all information requested in the ad

TIPS Tell the employer why you would be the right person for the job. Expand on your resume, highlight your best qualities and tell why you are interested in the position. Make sure to specifically explain your ability to meet the employer’s requirements. If you can, give examples of past behavior that prove your claim that you can fulfill the employer’s needs.

TIPS Close your letter by expressing your interest in an interview. Keep it short and neat—under one page. Don’t write “enclosed is my resume.” The employer can already see that, and it wastes valuable space.

TIPS Use simple language. Check your spelling and grammar. If possible, address your letter to a specific person, not “To Whom It May Concern.” Make sure your envelope is addressed properly and has enough postage.
