Step by Step Guide on Resume Cover Letter

June 15, 2009

A resume cover letter must not be more then a page and must include 3 steps in explaining the purpose of writing the cover letter and your interest in a particular employment opportunity.

Your resume cover letter must contain Introduction, Explanation and Conclusion. The Introduction part contains Your Name, Mailing Address, Email id, Phone Numbers (Primary, Secondary). Make sure you have a good, solid introduction and that you demonstrate interest in the job and company. Paying attention to both these elements can help make your cover letter noticeable.

The most important part of the letter is the body, which is about three spaces below the heading. Don’t forget to mention the specific position you are applying for your sincere intentions of joining the company. Of course, you need to include a summary of your qualifications and other personal information that may be relevant to the position. In the last part of your body, don’t forget to include a request for an interview and thank the employer for his time. Also mention that you have your resume and other credentials attached.

Your last step to achieve that coveted resume cover letter is the conclusion part, what you think finally will make the hiring manager call you for the interview will mainly depend on how you conclude your job cover letter. You have explained what you have to offer and now you need to give him much insight to your profile by hinting him to read your resume to check what you have done till date and how beneficial it is to call you for the interview.
