Job Search
 


Your cover letter should accomplish in the first paragraph who you are, what job you are applying for, and why you want to work with the organization.

Your Cover letter should start with some sort of attention grabber. Not as extreme as a joke. But a descriptive statement about you or a quote, or a well-worded introduction will work fine. The goal is to catch the attention of the employer.

Your second & third paragraph should answer the following questions:

o        What are your relevant skills

o        What is your relevant experience

o        Why are you well suited for the position 

You should always, always close your cover letter by thanking the employer for taking his or her time to review your application, and invite them to contact you.
