Professional Tips for Your Job Search
The Cover Letter
A cover letter should accompany every resume you provide to a
prospective employer. A well-written cover letter can make the
difference between a quick glance during the employer's screening
and more serious consideration.
Keep the letter concise and simple.
- Tell them why your resume is the one they have been waiting for!
Use no more than three paragraphs.
- The first paragraph should be an introduction. If you are
responding to an advertisement or job posting online, reference the
date of the advertisement or posting, the publication or website
where you found the job, and the title of the position.
- The second paragraph is where you give a synopsis of your
background, strengths, and experience. Try to relate them to the
position you are applying for and the specific job description you
saw advertised. Also, explain what interest or experience you have
in their type of business.
- The third paragraph is the final one. Thank the employer for
his/her consideration and express your strong desire to meet with
them in person to discuss the position further.
