The Importance of A Cover Letter
As you begin your job search, you will find that many employers
will not only request your resume, but will expect a cover
letter as well. Many people overlook the importance of a cover
letter, and instead only focus on putting an effort into their
resume. However, the cover letter is just as important in
getting an employer to call you for an interview. The following
article will outline how to write a cover letter with resume.
In considering how to write a cover letter with resume it is
appropriate to first consider what must be written into your
cover letter. First , your cover letter should state what job
you are applying for, as well as, the qualifications you possess
to do this job. The cover letter should leave the employer
wanting to know more about you, and cause the reviewer to call
you for an interview.
Another factor to consider beyond the content of the cover
letter is its presentation. When learning how to write a cover
letter with resume, the applicant should use quality paper to
print the cover letter and resume. It is also a good idea to
design a letterhead for yourself. If you are not creative enough
to do this, you can hire someone or use a template from your
word processing
software.
Not only should the cover letter be printed on quality paper, it
should look professional without any creases, stains or smudges.
If you are terrible at spelling, it is highly recommended that
you run the spell checker on your word processing program, and
also get another person to read it over and correct any mistakes
for you.
The reason it is important to put as much effort into learning
how to write a cover letter with your resume is the fact that
the cover letter will speak for you first. Within this letter,
you will briefly provide the reasons why the employer should
consider hiring you. The cover letter is an important tool in
making your resume stand out from the other resumes that the
employer will receive.
A well thought out cover letter and resume is the first key to
your successful employment campaign. Spend the necessary time on
these items and will be well on your way to career success.
