Make your first impression with a good cover letter

Why you need to send a cover letter?

We know it: First impression is the lasting
impression. The cover letter is your first and perhaps the only chance to grab
an employer’s attention. Your cover letter is a first step to get that
interview. You can show why your resume is worth reading with help of a good
cover letter.

Targeted cover letter

Write a targeted cover letter for the job you are
applying for. It is regarded as a mark of lethargy to send out a cover letter
that is not customized to the specific organization.  Research the business or
company so you can cover facts or related information about your job. It will
help you to write a relevant cover letter as well as you will gain good
knowledge for an interview.

Get to the point

Explain why you are sending your resume in your
cover letter. Be specific by naming job position you are applying for, how and
from where did you know about it. Whether you get you through online job posting
boards or a vacancy posted in the department.  Don’t make your reader guess what
you are looking for; state whether you are looking for a managerial post, summer
internship position or a data entry clerk.

Make it impressive

Make your cover letter impressive. There should be
no spelling, grammar or typing errors – not a single one.  Show elements of your
background –experience, education and leadership. Reflect your personality,
attitude and motivation
