Bust Out Of The Pile With This One Cover Letter Trick.
I know all of you are wanting to get to the part where we learn how to make a resume…
We just have to get this cover letter completed before we move on. One step at a time.
Now, you should have a fairly sizable list of things that you can write down and talk about yourself for a cover letter. We aren’t going to use it all but we are going to use some of the more powerful parts.
When you start crafting a cover letter you don’t want to be passive. You want to tell them what you want and why…
You can start your cover letter off something like….
I desire consideration for the Accounting Manager position that was posted on May 25, 2007 in Atlanta News Paper. As you read over my cover letter and confirm my experience with my resume you will find that my experience meets your qualifications for this position and establishes me as the perfect candidate.
You can see that this beginning sentence sets the tone. It might sound a little harsh to many because we are used to saying “Please consider me for the manager position you posted.”
No..No…No!
You have to tell them what you want and why you are the person for the job. Is that how you act everyday of your life…? No. You act with decisiveness when you know something…and there is one thing you know… You are perfect for this position.
You see you have to tell them what to do…I know you will stand out above the rest of the resumes that are sent in with this one sentence.
I didn’t have much time but I will finish this tomorrow with the remainder of the cover letter. I know it was short but don’t worry, bits and pieces at a time.
We will learn how to make a resume together I promise…
