Does your cover letter demand attention?

Tired of being looked over for each and every position? The problem could be with your cover letter. Writing a cover letter is an art form, and many people need help. Below you will tips and tricks from hiring managers on how to make a great first impression with your cover letter.



Tip # 1: Get to the Point

Explain the reason of your letter in the first paragraph. Don't waste valuable real estate with small talk. Make your point in less than three paragraphs, and never have a cover letter that is more than a page long.



Tip # 2: Tailor Your letter to the Reader

Focus on the needs of the specific company, not on your own requirements as a career seeker. Whenever possible, visit the employer's web site to learn more about it, and then use your cover cover letter to demonstrate how your skills and expertise can benefit the company.



Tip #3: Make It Something to remember

New college graduates can make their cover cover letter stand out by personalizing their stories. If you decided to model your job after a well known person in the field, tell that story to the hiring agent. Whatever you do, make it unique. Don't just say "I want to make a difference."



Tip #4: Highlight Your Biggest Achievements

Your cover letter shouldn't just summarize your job or be a repeat of your resume. Instead, highlight the successes and acheivements. This type of cover letter will help you stand apart from the crowd.



Tip #5 Show Your Ability To Work in a Group

Words like "Teamwork" and "collaboration" go a long way in corporate America. So spend some time discussing how you want to work with the Team, and how you will be a benificial part of the bigger picture.







Cover letters can be tough! But follow these tips, and you are sure to land the job of your dreams!
