Letter Writing Tips
 Keep
the letter brief without sacrificing quality. A good cover letter
normally runs a page. That is enough room for you to include the
right information.
The
introductory paragraph should cover the following points: the
position you are applying for and a quick overview of your
qualifications.
Throughout my
career, I have honed a diverse skill-set (strategic planning, new
business development, and team leadership) that has paved the
way for precedent-setting accomplishments. I am confident I can
contribute in the same manner in your organization. As a result, I
have enclosed my resume in consideration for the operations manager
position.
The
third paragraph should include three to five key
accomplishments that are pertinent to the position.
A summary of my
accomplishments includes:
- Achieved
a 45% increase in referral business by building strong client
relationships.
-Improved
attrition 19% through the development of a new hire training program
and through leading through example.
- Slashed
costs 56% following the implementation of cost saving
initiatives.
The
fourth paragraph closes the cover letter and
provides your contact information.
Enclosed
is my resume. I will call you on Wednesday the 21st to
schedule a meeting. In the meantime, you can reach me at (xxx)
xxx-xxxx.
Refrain
from mentioning salary & benefits in your cover letter.
Focus the contents on your career goals and how you can help
the hiring organization achieve their objectives.
