Below are sample cover letters for a CAD / drafting
position. Which cover letter is the strongest and uses
cover letter design to grab attention in seconds? The
before or after CAD / drafting cover letter sample?
As you can see the after CAD / drafting cover letter uses
underlining and bolded headings to focus on key CAD / drafting
skills and helps to sell Don in seconds - most cover letters
don't use bolded headings so if you use them your CAD /
drafting cover letter will stand out. To identify his key CAD / drafting skill
sets, Don analyzed a fairly detailed job ad and underlined
all skills in the ads he possessed to create a far stronger
cover letter.
If you are seeking a CAD / drafting job, I recommend you do
the same. Gather 5-10 job ads for the range of CAD / drafting
positions you are interested in and use them to create your
cover letter. Underline all of the skills in the CAD / drafting
ads you possess, then make a list of all of the skills you
have, then group them by skill categories and create the category headings to create your CAD / drafting
cover letter paragraph headings. This process is
detailed in my CAD / Drafting Resume & Cover Letter book
for $7.95.
If you have created a powerful CAD / drafting resume, then
you should have already used $, # and % to illustrate the
size of companies you have worked for, # of staff you
providing drafting support to, or the size of projects you
providing drafting to support - such as a $200,000 million
residential commercial project. You might also include
# of staff you have supervised or trained in CAD / drafting, and if you have streamlined
drafting operations the % increase in productivity you have
achieved.
If you review the content of the after CAD / drafting cover
letter below, you will see how it uses #'s to expand and
elevate Don's image such as supporting engineering staff in
3 locations. The more you quantify and describe
your experience using $, # and % in your cover letters for
CAD / drafting jobs the more likely you will be to land more
interviews and higher salary offers. For more ideas on
