The Cover Letter

Friday, April 19, 2013

Welcome once again to Let’s Get Working. The focus of today’s blog is on Cover Letters

A cover letter is something you send off along with your resume to a business to apply for a job. The job could be an advertised position or you could be sending off your cover letter and resume to various businesses (Cold Calling) to notify them that you are wanting to work for them.

A cover letter has:

Your address and contact details

The date

The business’ address,

The position you are applying for

A greeting and the name of the hiring person (you can get their name by ringing up the business and asking for the name of the hiring person.)

Paragraph 1 – employer’s positive attributes and what you see their needs as being (research these on the net).

Paragraph 2 – your character and your skills and how they would fit the business. (a list of skills can be found on the ASSESSING YOURSELF worksheet – pick a few)

Paragraph 3 – disclose your disability and how you will overcome your disability to do the job.

Paragraph 4 – mention that your resume is attached and you will be ringing to arrange to meet with them

A salutation, your signature and name.

Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
Martha!
