There is a debate over whether a cover letter is necessary. I have spoken to some recruiters who say no one reads cover letters. While I have talked with other recruiters who say that they love cover letters. I say cover letters are important if they are used correctly.
A cover letter should serve as an introduction to your resume. You should start off by letting the recruiter know why you are writing them. It may be about a specific position or it could be to determine if there are opportunities within the organization. Following that you should describe your strengths. These strengths can be your soft skills or hard skills. After listing your strengths you can discuss specific positions you have held and how you made a difference using your strengths. The cover letter should be closed by stating that you are confident that you can bring value to the organization and that you welcome an opportunity to further discuss your qualifications in person. Hopefully, the combination of a well written resume and well written cover letter will be an interview.
If you have further questions regarding a cover letter you can Google cover letters on the internet to generate samples. You can also check your library or bookstore for books on cover letters. If you don't have time for that you can hire a professional like Resume Solutions, LLC. Go to our website www.resumesolutionsllc.com for more information.
