 Benefits of Cover Letter

1.When applying for a job, a cover letter should be sent or posted with your resume or curriculum vitae. A cover letter is a (typically) one-page document that explains to the hiring manager why you are an ideal candidate for the job. It goes beyond your resume to explain in detail how you could add value to the company.

2.It can be helpful to look at cover letter samples when writing your own. A sample can help you decide what to include in your letter, and how to format the letter.

3.This collection of free professionally written cover letter examples will help you get started. Below you'll find both hard copy and email examples, for a variety of different types of employment inquiries and job applications including general cover letters, cold contact cover letters, referral letters, customized cover letters, job promotion letters, networking outreach letters, and letters to inquire about unadvertised openings.

4.Your cover letter should be specific to the position you are applying for, relating your skills and experiences to those noted in the job posting.

5.Use keywords. One useful way to tailor your letter to the job is to use keywords from the job posting. Circle any words from the job posting that seem critical to the job, such as specific skills or qualifications. Try to use some of these words in your letter. This way, at a glance, the employer can see that you match the requirements of the job.

6.Explain how you will add value.Think of concrete ways to prove you will add value to the company. Include examples of specific accomplishments from previous jobs. For example, if you helped reduce turnover by 10% at your last company, or implemented a filing strategy that reduced file errors by 15%, include this information. Try to quantify your successes when possible to clearly demonstrate how you could add value at the company.

7.Look at cover letter samples.Check out a few sample cover letters before writing your own. Samples will give you an idea of what information to include in your cover letter, and how to format the letter. However, never simply copy and paste a sample cover letter. Change the letter to fit your specific skills and experiences, and the job you are applying for.

 Benefits of Profile Highliter

1.A resume profile (or professional profile) is a introduction designed to efficiently convey a candidate’s top attributes and quickly grab the hiring manager’s attention.

2.A Career Highlights / Qualifications section of a resume is an optional customized section of a resume that lists key achievements, skills, traits, and experience relevant to the position for which you are applying. It is also known as a resume summary. Those who have a lot of experience in their career field can benefit from adding a resume summary. It is an effective way to highlight your strongest skills and to encourage the hiring manager to read more.

3.The Career Highlights section, also known as a “Career Summary,” “Career Profile,” or “Accomplishments” section, focuses on your relevant experience and lets the prospective employer know that you have taken the time to create a specific, tailored resume that shows how you are qualified for the job.

4.Read the job posting carefully, and create a summary that reflects the qualifications they are looking for. If they have a pile of resumes on their desk, you want your summary to catch their attention by immediately demonstrating how your own career skills, training, and experiences are the best, most perfect match for their requirements.
