(2008-08-17 21:05:53) 下一个

Acover letter has one aim: To help you get an interview and so increaseyour chances of landing that job. It’s your opening move. It must makean impact, interest employers in you and place you in the top ten. Youhave to be positive, outgoing, confident and assured.

Tailor your letter to the needs of the employer, the job and the organization.

  1. Write about what you offer the employer; not what the employer offers you.
  2. Positively show you're the ideal candidate by pointing out your key qualities.
  3. Back up the key qualities you offer with specific examples.
  4. Show the benefit you brought to your current or previous employer.
  5. Write in clear, concise, plain English — perfectly typed and presented.
  6. Carefully proofread your final letter — don't let a simple error slip through.

A cover letter tailors your qualifications to the job on offer. Youhave the reader's attention for about 20 seconds—so keep it short andto the point. Write it so strongly the employer wants to offer you aninterview before reading the details of your resume. The cover lettershould work hard for you, covering the essential information andselling you as the best candidate for the post.
