RULES FOR WRITING A GOOD COVER LETTER.
When applying for a job an applicant sends his CV and an application letter, also
called a cover letter, to the employer. The cover letter accompanies and introduces
your CV (so called because you place it on top of, and thus cover, your CV). Don't
send a resume without a cover letter. It's just good manners and appropriate business
etiquette to include a cover letter with your resume.
Explain why you are sending a resume. Don't make the reader guess what you are
asking for. Be specific: Do you want a summer internship opportunity, or a
permanent position at graduation; are you inquiring about future employment
possibilities?
Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization – an
advertisement in a newspaper, a flyer posted in your department, a web site, a
family friend who works at the organization. It is appropriate to mention the name
of someone who suggested that you write.
Convince the reader to look at your resume. The cover letter will be seen first.
Therefore, it must be very well written and targeted to that employer.
Call attention to elements of your background – education, leadership, experience
– that are relevant to a position you are seeking. Be as specific as possible, using
examples.
Show your attitude, personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills.
Provide any information specifically requested in a job advertisement that might
not be covered in your resume, such as availability date, or reference to an
attached writing sample.
Indicate what you will do to follow-up. Applicants often say something like "I look
forward to hearing from you." However, if you have further contact info (e.g.
phone number) and if the employer hasn't said "no phone calls," it's better to take
the initiative to follow-up, saying something like, "I will contact you in the next
two weeks to see if you require any additional information regarding my
qualifications."
