There are well over 300 million people in the USA today. Looking for a job as one of them can prove to be no easy chore...in fact, according to national statistics, you could be at it for nine months or more! Chances are good that you're going to need a serious edge over the competition if you want to get a good job.
Well, such an edge actually exists. There's no such thing as a sure thing in this field, but the edge I'm talking about can rocket your odds of snagging a job faster and seriously reduce your time spent on the prowl. What is this edge? It's called a cover letter.
I've told people before that to turn a resume in that doesn't have a would be like showing up buck-naked to a serious interview. As you can imagine...you wouldn't likely do too well in that situation. It'd be much better to show up in a gorgeous Armani suit, would it not? That would create a great first impression, showing your businesslike side and making the employer think of what a profitable relationship they could have with the hardworking, responsible person you are. Armani, thy name is "Cover Letter."
The is always the first round of elimination. The more impressive your cover letter, the better you start out. It's the first line of culling, and it separates the Armani suits from the nudists. If you have a great cover letter, you can stay in the running, while the folks with the poor ones or none at all will go back to the beach empty handed.
So how do you write or improve your cover letter? Well, one of the best ways is to learn by example. Look at some sample cover letters that have worked for others in the past, and learn. Copying someone else's letter would be stupid, but copying someone else's technique would be genius. Why did this work? What makes it different from mine? How can I use this to improve my cover letter? These are all questions you need to ask yourself as you read others' cover letters.
And another good thing about taking this particular road is that you'll also be building important critical thinking and analysis skills. That sounds boring and difficult, but it's really not a big deal, and it looks really good to employers. Skills like that make you valuable as an employee, and that means job security.
And above all, I must stress to you that the has two essential key purposes. If it doesn't do these two jobs, it can be considered a failure. A successful needs to first outline your skills and qualifications, and also encourage an interview. The first is fairly obvious, since a is made to accompany a resume...you'd expect it to have to do with your qualifications.
The most key point of a cover letter, however, is to encourage and possibly set up an interview with the employer. A that doesn't land you an interview isn't doing its job well. Always remember that making the jump from "piece of paper" to "person sitting across from me" in the minds of your potential employers is essential. When they stop thinking of you as just another application, and start thinking of you as the person who could fill their open position...that's when the has done its job.
To get started, you can find some free cover letter examples on this site. There you'll find all you need to learn how to write a cover letter. thus armed with that knowledge, you can get a job faster.
