Below
are sample cover letters for an Accounting Clerk
position. Which cover letter is the strongest and uses
cover letter design to grab attention in seconds - the
before or after accounting cover letter sample?
As you can see, the after accounting cover letter uses
underlining and bolded headings to focus on key accounting skills. To identify the key
accounting skills Terry needed to
market, he analyzed a fairly detailed job accounting ad and underlined
all skills in the ads he possessed to create a far stronger
accounting cover letter.
To create your accounting cover letter, I recommend you do
the same. Gather 5-10 job ads for the range of
accounting positions you are interested in and use them to
create your cover letter. Underline all of the skills
in the accounting job ads you possess then make a list of
all of the accounting skills you have. Then group them by
related categories and use the accounting skills and
category headings to create an accounting cover letter that
showcases your skills and experience in accounting as well
as other areas employers are requesting - such as team player skills.
If you have already created a powerful accounting resume,
then you should have already used $, # and % to quantify
your achievements - so continue to sell these quantified
achievements in your accounting cover letters.
If you review the content of the after accounting letter
below, you will see how it uses #'s to expand and elevate
terry's image. The more you quantify and
describe your experience using $, # and % in your cover
letters for accounting jobs the more
likely you will be to land more interviews and higher salary
offers. For more ideas on how to create a powerful
accounting cover letter you might want to review my 12
