Resume Cover Letter Tips
You should always send a resume cover letter with your resume. Remember, your employer sees your cover letter first (in email) and then only your resume. If your cover letter is not good enough, employer may loose interest in your resume. So here are some of the tips you should remember while writing your resume cover letter:
- Send it to one person - Never address your resume cover letter as "To whom it may concern". No. Call the person by name to whom you are sending the resume. If you don't know the name of the person, call the company or checkout their website. This personal communication in cover letter shows that you have an interest in the company.
- Start with a referral - If you know somebody in the company, or somebody who know somebody in the company, start the cover letter saying "Mr. So and so said that I should mail your and send my resume for so and so job, which I am much interested in", will create a sense of familiarity and comfort for the person reading your resume cover letter.
- Short and sweet - Don't make your resume cover letter into an essay. Just describe your most recent work or achievements (related to work).
- Call for action - AT the end of your cover letter, ask the employer to call you up or write you. Don't say the employer that you will follow it up. You should still do the follow up.
- Correct Language - At the end, check your resume cover letter twice for any typos or grammar errors.
