Do you know how to make an effective cover letter??


The Answer is YESSS!!!


#1st Rule ADDRESS your cover letter to a REAL Person!!

Do your best to find out to WHOM

You should address your cover letter.

“Dear Manager” is LIFELESS!!

Applying for an advertised position with NO NAME to contact, CALL THE

COMPANY and ASK for the dept. Manager’s

Name!!


#2nd Rule OPEN with an attention-grabbing first sentence to really

grip the reader!!

Don’t write with the same format like regular People, BE CONVENTIONAL,, TALK THROUGH YOUR LETTER. Let your quirks and imperfections SHINE!


#3rd Rule REMEMBER --- Less is MORE!

The Best Cover Letters have plenty of WHITE SPACE. CLEAR, FOCUSED, SHORT and SWEET gets the interview every time.


#4th Rule FOCUS on What you can do for the employer, How can

you benefit the company specifically?

Focus on what the hiring manage wants, not what

you want!


#5th Rule CHOOSE WORDS that show enthusiasm and passion for

the position you seek.... (Big Big Big Secret!!)

Show you have researched the company double check those facts, then carry this passion into the interview with you.


#6th Rule REQUEST ONE ACTION You want the employer to take

“I would really like the opportunity for a personal interview this week.”

You never know until you ASK


#7th Rule END Your cover letter with enthusiastic and telling

verbiage such

“I Look forward to being interviewed at your earliest convenience. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Sincerely, Thomas Jobseeker.”

This approach is clever, smart and it works like a charm!


Finally... FOLLOWING UP is the “golden key” to getting hired

for the job of your dreams!!

NOW GO OUT THERE AND MAKE YOUR

OWN LUCK!!
