Cover Letter – It’s Pretty Critical
When you apply for a job, you want that resume and CV to actually be read by the individual making interview decisions. So, how do you stand out so you get read? In many cases it begins with a cover letter.
Lots of candidates think that cover letters are inconsequential. So, they either have a generic letter that they send with every resume or CV; or, if they are sending their resumes digitally, many of them actually leave out the cover letter altogether. Still others craft a cover letter as an after-thought – just a quick little couple of paragraphs indicting interest in the position and telling the reader that the resume is attached.
What they need to understand is that cover letters are read – or at least scanned – before any eyes hit the resume. And if the cover letter is compelling and engages the reader right away, it is more likely that the resume or CV that follows will be read.
What a Good Cover Letter Contains
Every cover letter should be personalized for the organization to which it is being sent. Here are key components:
- It must name the organization in the letter; it must also name the specific title of the position being applied for
- It needs to include the keywords that are included in the position description that came with the job posting. A lot of companies have digital screening processes that look for those keywords before “sending” an application package forward to be read
- The very first sentence should grab the reader’s attention. It should be short, simple and creative.
- The cover letter should reflect enthusiasm and energy
Obviously, you can’t just use a traditional template and wording that every other candidate is using. You have to be unique. And in most instances, the person who can craft a great resume is not the same person who can craft a creative and engaging cover letter. These are two different types of writing styles.
