Job seekers everywhere are constantly on the lookout for that one tip or trick that will make their resumes stand out above the crowd. It is amazing that will all the tools at our disposal we all manage somehow to create very similar resumes and cover letters when seeking jobs. With this in mind, it makes complete and total sense that doing something a little different than the other 500 applicants for the same limited number of desirable positions will give you a serious boost when it comes to actually making it from the application process to the interview process. If you are on the lookout for that one little thing that can leap frog you ahead of other applicants then consider adding a summary at the end of your cover letter.
There are many things one may place in a that will get a resume noticed. Sadly, most cover letters are not read from beginning to end and chances are good that the important things mentioned in the middle will be missed by those reading your cover letter. If all the good stuff is in the middle of your resume, so to speak, I am quite sure you can understand how those who are planning the actual interviews may miss the best information. By placing a summary of the highlights at the very end of your you are allowing the hiring manager to skip through main points of your and enjoy the highlights so to speak.
Do not simply highlight your experience in your summary however. Make a point of letting the hiring manager know that you are eager to work for his company and ask for that oh so important interview. It's amazing how often people get what they want simply by asking for it when others, who may actually be more qualified in the case of job seekers, do not get what they want for the mere fact that they did not ask for it. The power of suggestion is a powerful tool when competing against unknown competitors for a tiny slice of a really big pie. By reminding the hiring manager why you would be a benefit for his company at the end and asking for the interview you have saved him the trouble of reading your entire and suggested to him that you are, in fact, open to an interview. Compared to many job seekers you are already one step ahead of the competition and you haven't even made it to the interview process at this point in time.
Of course there are many other things you may do that will make your shine a little bit above and beyond the competition. Avoid filling your with words that are either ambiguous or difficult to understand. You want your to be honest, open, uncluttered, and easy to read. This is especially important during the summary portion of your and when requesting an interview. You want to get your message across and you want to avoid looking as though you are trying to hide something.
You should also make a point of using the summary of your to sell the skills you have that are pertinent to the position in mind. You want the hiring manager to know without a doubt that you are the best person for the job. Don't squander your opportunity to shine with irrelevant skills that have little to do with the position to which you are applying-leave that to those who won't get the interview. Instead use this opportunity to remind the hiring manager that you have experience, skills, or extensive research with "XYZ" and that you would be delighted to put those skills to use for her company. This will set your apart from all the rest.
If you take the idea of a summary at the end of your seriously and work it to highlight the positive effects a company would experience by hiring you, you will find that you are getting a lot more interviews than if you continue providing the standard boring cover letters that your competition is providing. Wow your potential employers by making the decision process much easier for them.
