How
Beneficial is a Sample Cover Letter?

The Crowd With Winning Cover Letters, When
Cover Letters Get Personal
The purpose of a successful cover letter is to make the
employer want to know more about you, to feel the need to
meet you in person and discuss the job opening, to get you
an interview!
A sample cover letter is really only meant to provide you
with the inspiration to create your own.
A cut and pasted sample resume cover letter will not
highlight your unique skills and experience
In fact, a sample cover letter simply inserted with your
name and address can have the appearance of a 'canned'
letter. Prospective employers can spot a cut and pasted
cover letter and it often ends up in the trash instead of
the 'call for an interview' stack.
What a Sample Cover Letter Can't Do
You do not have much opportunity to give any hints of
your personality in a resume; after all it's just a
recitation of your education and work experience. In today's
competitive job market, many people share similar
certifications and occupational backgrounds; what sets them
apart is their work ethic, personality, and yes; even
passion for the job!
Prior to the interview, your unique qualities can only
come through in the cover letter. A generic sample cover
letter just isn't going to give the employer an idea of what
sets you apart from the hundreds of other job applicants
vying for the same job.
Sending out multiple copies of the same tired cover
letter gives the impression that you are lazy and are
saturating the job market with the same sample cover letter.
What employer wants an employee who is lazy and doesn't have
an original thought in their head? Not many.

The Benefits of a Sample Cover Letter
But what if I'm not a creative type of person? That's
fine. Not everyone is. We all have our strengths and
weaknesses and there are some benefits to using a resume
cover letter example.
Using a sample cover letter can give you a foundation to
create your own; insuring you stay focused on the task at
hand.
However, the wording should be your own. A sample cover
letter gives you the correct recipe; it's up to you to add
the ingredients. If you feel as though you truly need a
template use the following hints:
- Address your letter to a real, live individual. Avoid
the trap of the "Dear Sir/Madam' that is so common in many
sample cover letters.
- Specifically state how you found out about the job or
who referred you. This will help to liven it up.
- Mention something unique about the company you hope to
employ you. Don't use canned wording like 'your successful
track record'
