And here's the BIG SECRET!

Amazing Cover Letter

When you combine all three, you
have a recipe that WILL produce an amazing cover letter.

So...

Let's look at how to apply each tip in your cover letter.

Tip #1: Specifically Address The Person

Since the purpose of the cover letters is to get the company to call you in for an interview. Your cover letter should either be attracting attention, or selling YOU for the opportunity to be interviewed for the job opening. If possible, get the name of person who actually does the interview and use it whenever possible in your letters. By specifically addressing a person by his/her name, your cover letter will be personalized and definitely attract more attention than Dear Sir/Madam.

Tip #2: Start Strong, and Keep Building

Your opening sentence must GRAB the reader's attention. If it does not this can keep the reader from reading any further. Now remember that you must start strong and keep building, so your second paragraph is just as important as your opening sentence. The second paragraph should sell YOU. By explaining quickly and clearly what your experiences are, and why you would be the solution for the company. Make sure that you demonstrate that you love what you do and will bring a lot of passion and commitment to the employer in one of your paragraphs. Your last paragraph should tell the hiring manager what to do next, contact you for an interview as soon as possible. You should be clear and direct when giving this "call to action". Make sure your contact information is easy to locate. Remember, you first have to get your foot in the door to have a chance at landing the job, so your letter should end with one final, powerful shot.

Tip #3: A Postscript or P.S.

This is the final, sizzling summary. It condenses everything in your letter that you've tried to communicate already. But most importantly, don't forget to end your P.S. with a direct request to be interviewed for the position that the company is offering. This is how you effectively end your cover letter.

Once you have put these simple concepts on writing an amazing cover letter into practice, many doors of opportunity will open up to you. You will be rewarded for the rest of your career.
