It may seem that in our hectic and fast-paced age, with its emails, short messages and mobile phones, the ability to write a letter has lost its relevance. Is it so?
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, in our time, lovers of the epistolary genre have a lot to turn around. From time to time, those of us who decide to change jobs may need to write a resume. What can you do, willy-nilly, you have to be creative.
Step 2
But if the resume is a necessity, limited by the formal requirements for its design, then the "accompanying" to the resume is a kind of detailed explanatory note that can break through the impassive expression on the face of a potential employer. How do you write a cover letter?
Step 3
First of all, take the trouble to find out by all available means the surname and name, as well as the position of the person to whom your resume with a cover letter will get. A personal appeal in a letter will undoubtedly play into your hands - any person is pleased that they know him by name.
Step 4
Name the position you are applying for in your cover letter. Mention your education, professional specialization and work experience, if available. It's great if the profile of your previous activity matches the proposed new position. If you do not have the required qualifications and experience, indicate that your personal qualities (for example, good learning ability) will allow you to fill this gap in a short time.
Step 5
Mention how and to what extent you can be useful to the employing company. It is advisable to have an idea of what stage of development the company is at and what the priority tasks facing its personnel are.
Step 6
Please provide your contact phone number and email address. If you plan to call back yourself, indicate the day and time of the intended call.
Step 7
The volume of the cover letter should not be large - 2-3 paragraphs, consisting of 3-4 sentences each. The writing style is strict and businesslike. Capitalizing on "you" will strengthen the respectful tone of the letter. Offensive or disrespectful comments about the previous place of work and colleagues at work are unacceptable.
Step 8
An example text of a cover letter in a comic form is given below: HR Director of LLC "Horns and Hooves" Rosalia Aromat. Hello. From the Deputy Financial Director Vasisualy Lokhankin, I learned that your company has a vacancy for Zits Chairman. I graduated from the State University of Management and Management, after which he worked as Zits-Chairman at OJSC "Shyem-Poshem". Fired due to the reorganization of the company and the reduction of his position. I am interested in your company's field of activity - I would like to work for you. I have useful skills in management and administration (ability to work in conditions of risk and uncertainty, quick search for optimal solutions, knowledge of the basics of criminal law and legal proceedings). Best regards, Zinoviy Pound.
