Cover Letters

A cover letter is a letter that pretty much introduces your resume to the company you are trying to apply for. What you are trying to do with a cover letter is convince the reader to give you at least a chance for an interview. A cover letter should usually have an address on the cover, it should be one page or less, it should also have some ways where the reader could reach you, the font size should be adequate which means no less than font size 10, and it should be of course grammar and spelled checked. The context of what you write should be why and for what position of job do you want. You should sound interested in that position and you should also try to emphasize on what you have have done in the past show of some of your skills and convince them to read your resume maybe twice or even three times. The way you should write a cover letter is by using as many powerful words as possible. You need to be very clear and of what you want and why you are the one for it. A cover letter should mostly have what you have to offer to the company. The main point of a cover letter is for you to convince them of something, but at the same time make sure you are proving your own pints. The cover letter is a way to persuade the reader to read your resume, which should follow, and it is to prove why you are good for the job.
