Presentation Transcript

Cover Letters A cover letter accompanies each resume you distribute. Your cover letter can make the difference between getting an interview or having your resume ignored.

A cover letter should complement, not duplicate, your resume. • The resume is data-oriented and factual. • The cover letter adds a personal touch • A cover letter creates the critical first impression.

Your cover letter should be designed specifically for each position you seek. • Do not design a form letter and send it to every potential employer. This is how junk mail is born.

You can, however, build reusable sentences but the need to rearranged to match each specific job being sought.

Effective cover letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences. • They should show that you have done research and that you therefore have a high level of interest and knowledge about the position.

Your cover letter should address three general issues: 1. First Paragraph - Why you are writing 2. Middle Paragraphs - What you have to offer 3. Concluding Paragraph - How you will follow-up

Why You Are Writing • In some cases, you may have been referred to a potential employer by a friend or acquaintance. Be sure to mention this mutual contact, by name, up front since it is likely to encourage your reader to keep reading!

If you are writing in response to a job posting, indicate where you learned of the position and the title of the position. More importantly, express your enthusiasm and the likely match between your credentials and the position's qualifications. If you are writing a prospecting letter, a letter in which you inquire about possible job openings - state your specific job objective. Since this type of letter is unsolicited, it is even more important to capture the reader’s attention. If you are writing a networking letter, to approach an individual for information, make your request clear.

How You Will Follow Up • Close by reiterating your interest in the job and letting the employer know how they can reach you and include your phone number and/or email address. Or bid directly for the job interview or informational interview and indicate that you will follow-up with a telephone call to set up an appointment at a mutually convenient time. Be sure to make the call within the time frame indicated. • In some instances, an employer may explicitly prohibit phone calls or you may be responding to a “blind want-ad” which precludes you from this follow-up. Unless this is the case, make your best effort to reach the organization. At the very least, you should confirm that your materials were received and that your application is complete. • If you are applying from outside the employer’s geographic area you may want to indicate if you’ll be in town during a certain time frame (this makes it easier for the employer to agree to meet with you). • In conclusion, you may indicate that your references are available on request. Also, if you have a portfolio or writing samples to support your qualifications, state their availability.

What You Have To Offer • In responding to an advertisement, refer specifically to the qualifications listed and illustrate how your particular abilities and experiences relate to the position for which you are applying. • In a prospecting letter express your potential to fulfill the employer's needs rather than focus on what the employer can offer you. You can do this by giving evidence that you have researched the organization thoroughly and that you possess skills used within that organization. • Emphasize your achievements and problem-solving skills. Show how your education and work skills are transferable, and thus relevant, to the position for which you are applying.

Sample Targeted Cover Letter • Your Name Your Address Your City, State, Zip Code Your Phone Number Your Email Date Name Title Organization Address City, State, Zip Code Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name: • I am interested in the Coordinator position advertised on XYZ. My resume is enclosed for your review. Given my related experience and excellent capabilities I would appreciate your consideration for this job opening. My skills are an ideal match for this position. • Your Requirements: • Responsible for evening operations in Student Center and other facilities, including managing registration, solving customer problems, dealing with risk management and emergencies, enforcement of department policies. • Assists with hiring, training, and management of staff. Coordinate statistics and inventory. • Experience in the supervision of student staff and strong interpersonal skills are also preferred. • Valid Minnesota driver's license with good driving record. Ability to travel to different sites required. • Experience in collegiate programming and management. • My Qualifications: • Register students for courses, design and manage program software, solve customer problems, enforce department policies, and serve as a contact for students, faculty, and staff. • Hiring, training, scheduling and management of staff, managing supply inventory, and ordering. • Minnesota driver's license with NTSA defensive driving certification. • Extensive experience in collegiate programming and management. • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. • I appreciate your taking the time to review my credentials and experience. Again, thank you for your consideration. • Sincerely, Your Signature (for mailed letter)Your Typed Name
