Download Cover Letter Whom It May Concern

A cover letter has been established as a necessary component of your application but it is important to make it effective in order to attract the employer’s attention. While writing a cover letter is relatively simple, making it effective takes some extra effort. There are certain simple rules, which if kept in mind, can pave the way to writing an effective cover letter.

The first rule is to kindle the interest of your employer by appearing to be the most suitable candidate for the position. You have to attractively mention your achievements in the letter to ensnare the attention of the prospective employer. However, one must refrain from exaggerating and diverging from the truth. It is pertinent to state the truth simply and to the point.

The second rule is to address the letter to the correct person, mentioning the post clearly. This adds a professional touch to the letter and also reflects the efforts taken to find out the same, if not mentioned in the advertisement.

The third rule is to prompt the next meeting or call at the end of the letter. It may sound presumptuous but nothing is lost by doing so, while not doing so may result in an opportunity lost.

Finally, after you have written your cover letter, it is important to edit the same and to ensure that there are no mistakes and it is absolutely perfect. Getting someone else to read it will help in reducing errors in a long way.

Download Writing an Effective Cover Letter

A cover letter is a very important document that accompanies your resume, something that makes the employer consider your resume and application. It is very important that you draft it well and present it beautifully, so that it instantly attracts the attention of the prospective employer.

A good cover letter is one that does not waste time summarizing your resume but instead dwells on your suitability for the position. When writing a good cover letter you should ensure that it is addressed to the right person and includes his or her name in the salutation. The first part of a good cover letter should expressly state your interest in the position and also your reason for applying. You could mention the person who referred you or could mention the details of the advertisement, whichever is applicable.

The second part is the most important part of the cover letter, as it is where you can go beyond all boundaries and sell yourself. However, care should be taken not to exaggerate and overstate your abilities. Your abilities and experience should be stated simply and clearly, so that it enables the employer to take a decision.

Finally, the third part is where you thank the person for considering the application and reading the letter. Here you should also mention details about follow up. In other words you could give your phone number or could just state that you will call up the office and follow it up.

Salutation,

Dear Ms. Or Mr. and the last name

Body of the Letter

All resumes have to be accompanied by a good and well drafted cover letter, as this will ensure consideration of the resume for the job. While drafting a cover letter accompanying a resume, it should not be a summary of the resume but it should reflect all the factors that are either missing from or ambiguous in the resume.

First part

It is important to mention in the body of the cover letter that you are attaching the resume for further scrutiny and action. You can highlight the points from your resume that you feel will definitely make the reader consider the attached resume. You could mention qualifications in some cases, where it may act as a selling point. However, the cover letter should largely reflect your experience and achievements, which your resume will not cover directly.

Second Part

In a resume cover letter, you should describe your various abilities, whether it is customer satisfaction, awards for best performer, industrious and sincere nature, accuracy and such qualities that will enable the employer to decide. Motivation and interest in work are two factors that should be mentioned to catch the eye of the employer.

Third Part

Finally, you should thank the person for considering your application and should leave your number for future calls regarding interviews. It is important to address all cover letters to individuals as this gives it a professional touch and also shows the amount of effort you have put in to get the name, which in turn shows your interest in the job.

Yours faithfully, truly, sincerely etc.
