Cover Letter

Is attaching a cover letter with your resume really important?

Information Planet believes that when a cover letter is attached to a resume, the chances to get an interview increase substantially.

The main aim of the cover letter is to give a brief introduction of yourself. After reading the cover letter, employers will know a little bit about yourself and your strengths and the position you are applying for.

HOW TO DO A COVER LETTER

First Paragraph:

Should include information such as

Your name

The position you are applying for

Middle Paragraphs:

This section describes what you have to offer the employer

You need to convince the employer that they want to read further and know more about you

Make strong connections between your abilities and their needs

Mention specifically how your skills and experience match the job you are applying for.

Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.

Try to support each statement you make with a piece of evidence.

Use several shorter paragraphs or bullets rather than one large block of text.

Final Paragraph:

Conclude your cover letter by thanking the employer for considering you for the position.

Include information on how you will follow-up.

State that you will do so and indicate when (one week's time is typical).

You can follow up by fax/email/call
