How To Create A Cover Letter

How do I create a "cover letter"?

Your cover letter needs to include a variety of things. Number one, it needs to reference the position for which you are applying and certainly if you are being referred to the company by someone you know or someone who knows the company you need to include his or her name in that first paragraph. The second paragraph is going to highlight your main accomplishments, achievements, background and experience. So, be concise and specific in terms of things that you have done in your background that are going to be particularly applicable to the position for which you are applying. The third paragraph is going to ask for an interview and the fourth paragraph is going to thank the prospective employer for reviewing your qualifications and giving you consideration for the position.
