What To Write In A Cover Letter. A well-written cover letter will help get your application noticed and help you secure an interview. Here's how to write a cover letter in five simple steps.
Whether you love writing cover letters or view them as a chore, many hiring managers still rely on them to gauge an applicant's personality, attention to detail and communication skills.
The key to writing effective cover letters, then, is to follow instructions and communicate succinctly but with a compelling voice.
The longer you "sit on" a cover letter to edit and re-write it, the longer you prolong the opportunity for someone else to get the attention of the hiring manager you want to impress. Not only do you have to make sure it sells your skills and abilities to recruiters, you also need to do it a clear and concise manner - that ultimately persuades the reader to want to meet you. Knowing that, it's worth taking some time to think about what message you want to send.
