We all need a little assistance, especially when we're about to send an application letter to help us land a job that promises huge professional and personal rewards. So why not use a free template? It's easy, it seems okay and it's readily available. Well, buzzer sound please.
Not all free templates can effectively market your skills. For one, these templates were created as a simple way of giving you an immediate solution to your immediate need: to write a decent cover letter. And therein lies the problem. 'Decent' can mean 'passable' or 'okay' or 'can do' but it doesn't mean spectacular or excellent or terrific and that's just where your problem might begin.
Why a free template is not your best solution
A 'decent' will not hold the attention of a potential employer. If you're lucky, it could be given a cursory glance before it's crumpled up, thrown in the trash can or shredded to pieces. When that happens, consider your chances of landing that particular job as zilch.
When you're looking for a job, you don't want just any job - you want a job that can offer you security, potential growth and possibilities for advancement. You probably won't run after a job if you think it offers little in return. Now, if you have a great template to use, wouldn't that increase your chances of landing a job you'll love?
Will a template solve your job hunting problems?
Depends on what type of template you're using. Free templates are not always up to par with recent industry standards. If you look closely, you'll notice that the style of writing used in many free templates is archaic and boring. If you've seen other cover letters before, you'll find many of the words and phrases used in these free templates as the very same words you've read 5, maybe 10 or 15 years ago.
That's because these free templates were created to meet the needs of every job hunter from the box stacker to the forklift driver to the accountant to the CEO. There is just not enough detail in these free samples to make them extra special and effective enough to actually showcase what you can offer. Now put yourself in the shoes of the employer. Would you care to bother with a that seems so out of place and unappealing? I thought so.
It takes money to make money.
Not all free things are good. If you want the best job in the world, you'll need to be able to use the best template to market your best assets. It only makes sense. You have to give a little extra effort into your job hunting in order to capture the kind of job that will reward you later on.
After all, what's the point of wasting your time in an effort that is bound to end as a failure or worse, a disaster? Believe me, a bad template will do more harm to your professional reputation if you let it, so why bother at all?
It will take some effort to write a but that can be remedied by an excellent template. It's much easier and more convenient to use. Build your career on a solid foundation that will offer you a lot of possibilities in the future and make sure you start with a knock out template.
