How To Write A Good Cover Letter Tips

What is a Cover Letter ?
A Cover letter to a job application is like the book cover to any books. A cover letter is the attention-grabbing introduction that is attached to your resume in a job application. In these letters you are explaining who you are and why you are writing to the person who is reading your resume. It is only proper for you to introduce yourself when you are requesting something of them, in this case, an interview.

Cover Letters Should Be Brief and Simple
Remember that recruiters have to read so many resume applying for only one position, out of which, they will select a few candidates for interviews. In order to secure that interview, cover letters should ideally be only one page long. Many people provide lengthy autobiographies in the cover letter. Never repeat your resume in your cover letter. This is a waste of the writer's and reader's time.

Cover Letter Content
In the first two paragraphs, mention the position you are applying for and how did you learn of the opening for the position.

In the subsequent two paragraphs, tell your prospective employer why you are perfect for the position. And finally end your cover letter by informing whether you will be calling them or you will be waiting for their phone call to call you for an interview.

Remember, NEVER use the same cover letter for all your job application. And never ever attempt to take the easy way out by copying your friend's cover letter and just change the details. You cannot cheat the recruiters. Be individual and write a customised cover letter just for that one application to show your genuine interest in getting that job.
