correct.
All the tips
that I’m going to tell you will make you stand out of the crowd and thus
increases the possibility of getting hired.
Cover letter must be job oriented: This means you must
be specific about the job you are applying for, and the write the Letter in
respect to the job opening.
Target Cover letter: List all the requirement that the job posting is asking for in your
cover letter. And then customize it as per recruiter requirement. You just need
to target it for the job posting.
Don’t Copy:
You don’t try to copy the cover letter same as per Resume. Expand resume and
make the achievements and you best capabilities be in bold letters. This give
you an extra attention from the reciter.
Simple and Clear: They all want to be very precise over the job post. So you need to be
simple and clear to describe them about yourself. Small paragraphs simple to
3-4 sentence only and not more than one page make it look simpler.
Personalize it:
All you need to do is address your hiring manager personally in it. Search
through internet about him, if you don’t find a word then write Dear
Hiring manager. This will surely have a positive impact on him.
Email your Resume: Don’t send any attachments until the manager personally request for it.
Check before you send: Ask someone to read your letter and check whether it is
impressive or not before sending it. You can also review your letter by asking
anyone to mark you out of 10 for the letter.
Keep copies:
Always keep the copy and track of you cover letter so you remember which letter
you send to whom. If not done this can confuse you at time of reciter calling
you for the interview.
