Take a look at the cover letter worksheet below. While it presents a simple formula for writing a cover letter, it has been very effective.
I've been told hundreds of cover letter success stories by college
instructors and Employment Security staff using the worksheet with their clients.
If you like this cover letter format you can easily "fill-in the blanks" by writing bulleted sentences for each skill listed in the ad, or job posting, you
are responding to.
This is a fast and simple method for cover letter writing.
I know you may be tempted to print off or copy the same cover letter for every ad.
You may feel you just don't have the time to write each cover letter individually.
However it's important to ask yourself if you will find the time to watch a soap opera or the
Sunday night movie.
If so, that time could be spent writing cover letters.
Remember, if your cover letter doesn't work--analyze the jobs you're applying for and identify what you're doing wrong--then change your message just like a good advertiser would do.
Use the checklist below to verify that you've created a targeted and powerful cover letter. Good luck and have fun marketing yourself!
