Job Cover Letter - Your Introduction


Your job cover letter is a vital marketing tool that allows your to point out to a prospective employer your most attractive qualifications. If you do a good job with your job cover letter, it will most likely lead to a face to face interview.

A job cover letter goes hand in hand with a well written resume. Your cover letter should point out to any reader your present and future goals, showing recruiters what you will do now for them as well as what you will do for them in the future.

A cover letter is vital to hand in with a resume for one simple reason, a resume focuses on what you've done in the past. Any prospective employer will definitely enjoy reading what you've done in the past, but they are more likely to be intrigued with what you are doing now and plan on doing in the future.

Before you write your cover letter be sure to research the company you are planning on applying with and more importantly research the specific job. Adapt your cover letter for the specific job that you are interested in. Show how your previous and present accomplishments show how your are a perfect fit for the job at hand.

There is a basic format that most job cover letters follow. They consist of 3 paragraphs

1. A brief self-introduction including your career objective.

2. A short break down of your education, skills and other relevant information

3. A closing paragraph stating contact info (email address, contact phone number)

This is the basic format that most cover letters that jobhunters use when on the hunt.
