Use Cover Letter Design That Saves Employers Time
The average cover letter takes too long for most employers to read
so most employers skim very quickly down cover letters and many cover letters are skipped
over because nothing stands out and grabs attention.
To increase the likelihood of an employer taking the time to read your cover letter you need to use design that saves them time.
Just like your resume, your cover letter is also part of your marketing package and should also incorporate the primary components of an excellent advertisement:
Design and content.
You can create a cover letter with excellent design by using main headings or bolded statements that match the
requirements of the positions you are applying for.
Such strategies will direct and control the employer's eye path and sell your top skills in 4-5 seconds.
Take
a look at the two cover letters below - which one uses design that
grabs your attention at glance?
Which cover letter looks bland?
The first cover letter doesn't use design or bolded headings
and achievements to grab attention and looks like the vast
majority of cover letters received by employers?
Which letter would get lost in 100's to 100's of cover
letters?
Which
cover letter design do you believe will help you land more
interviews. These cover letters were for a delivery
driver position - but this simple cover letter examples
illustrates why most cover letters fail.
