Cover Letters
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Cover letters should be attached to any professional job (desk jobs), any posting that specifically asks for one, and as a fax cover sheet.
- Some text from Viriginia Tech’s Cover Letters web site: http://www.career.vt.edu/JOBSEARC/coversamples.htm and the MIT cover letters document: http://web.mit.edu/career/www/guide/coverletters.pdf
- If you’re optimistic, make sure to use positive words, but don’t gush or get too excited about a position you love.
- “As requested, I have included a writing sample – an article from my school newspaper, the State News, about the school’s annual volunteer day.” “Included is a recommendation letter from my high school counselor, Mrs. Jane Smith, whom I have known for ten years.”
- This is not always necessary; if the posting specifies a certain date they will be contacting applicants, or if you’re just sending a resume to inquire, you don’t need to include this.
- Your address comes first, then the date, then the address it’s being sent to. Always try to get the name of the person you’re sending to; “Hiring Manager” or “Human Resources” might sometimes get screened out. Microsoft Word’s Letter Wizard will do this for you, but be prepared to do it yourself, correctly.
- It’s okay to just type whatever you can think of. Your first try will not be your only try. You can edit!
- Text of example letter from VT Cover Letters site. (always leave a space between the end of the letter and your typed name, and sign your name in handwriting there.
