Picture yourself sitting face-to-face with a person doing work that is interesting. What would you say? What do you want to ensure they know about you before you leave the room? Your letter is a chance to make a great first impression or continue a conversation that has already been started. Your letter is something employers expect —it shows your professionalism and helps them get to know you Every time you submit a résumé, you should attach an accompanying letter. Even if they don’t specifically request it, employers expect documentation from you that shows your professionalism and potential contributions. What better way to start than by using a cover letter? Your letter should clearly show the match —it illustrates the connections between you and the work Some employers scan your résumé first, while others start with the cover letter.

...Introduction to Cover Letters The cover letter is a document meant to accompany one’s resume when applying for or inquiring about a job. It provides you with an opportunity to really introduce yourself to your employer by explaining your interest in the company and position, why you are qualified, and what sets you above other potential applicants. Cover letters are very important because prospective employers use them to get a sense of each applicant beyond what their resume conveys. In fact, cover letters are often the first document read by employers, and may determine whether they bother with the resume at all. It is very important to know how to write a proper cover letter so that you can distinguish yourself as a worker and as a person. * Cover letters are typically around one page in length and consist of fourparagraphs, each of which performs a specific job to quickly inform the employer of why they should consider you for the position. In the following section, each standard component of a cover letter why it is essential to think carefully about how it is written. The Ingredients of a Cover Letter NEED an introduction here. There should always be something written after every heading. The Headings At the top of your cover letter, you must include two headings and a date. The first heading details your contact information. Your contact information can be left-justified, or it can match the same style of heading contact information as your resume for consistency...

...Before writing a cover letter, its important to understand how it can help or hurt you. In the internship application process a cover letter is your first impression. It's an opportunity to tell a perspective employer why you’re the perfect fit for their internship and their office and just as importantly, a cover letter is an opportunity to tell an employer you don't care about their position, by writing a sloppy or template cover letter.

...bea1_c01.qxd 12/12/01 10:20 AM Page 1 1 Importance of Cover Letters The cover letter you choose for transmitting your resume to an employer or important networking contact can be one of the most significant factors in the success (or failure) of your job-hunting campaign. In fact, a survey of nearly 600 employment professionals, conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), suggests some 76% of employers may automatically eliminate an employment candidate from any further hiring consideration, based solely on the quality of his or her cover letter alone. Further, 43% of survey respondents also reported they view the cover letter as equal to the resume in importance. When it comes to running an effective employment campaign, therefore, this data should cause you to sit up and take notice! (Note: A copy of the full survey, which covers both cover letters and resumes can be obtained by contacting SHRM by phone, (703) 548-3440, or by e-mail at SHRM.org.) If well written and informative, the cover letter can grab the reader’s attention, raise his curiosity, and stimulate immediate interest in your employment candidacy. In fact, if particularly well written, it can sometimes raise sufficient interest to compel the reader to extend an interview invitation without reading the resume document to which it is attached. By contrast, a poorly written cover letter can be disastrous to an otherwise successful job-hunting campaign, serving as an immediate roadblock...

...service. To do so, write a sales letter. In selecting the product or service for your company, choose a topic that interests you. This could be a topic that you're currently involved with at work. It could be a topic related to your major at college. Perhaps you'll want to write about a hobby (dog training, wood working, gardening, parasailing, etc.). Whatever topic you select, have fun and be creative. NOTE: All subsequent assignments in this class (your flier, letter of inquiry, memo, user manual, and report) will ask you to write about the same topic you have chosen for the sales letter. Therefore, pick a good topic for your sales letter--one that you enjoy, one that you can live with for a few months, one that lends itself to a how-to user manual, and one that is mature and appropriate for a college class. Why write about the same topic over and over? I'm asking you to practice a very common skill in technical writing called "single sourcing." In "single sourcing," tech writers use and reuse content in different communication channels.You're not required to stick with the same topic. If you want to change topics from assignment to assignment, go ahead. But, reusing the same topic (and graphics) could save you time throughout the semester. | Now that you know the objectives for this assignment, follow this sequence: Read the sales letter's criteria to learn exactly what your letter will include. Review the sample sales letter. Prewrite to gather data, to determine...
