~*~ Explain why you are sending a resume.
Don't send a resume without a cover letter.
Don't make the reader guess what you are asking for; be specific: Do you want a summer internship opportunity, or a permanent position at graduation; are you inquiring about future employment possibilities?

~*~ Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization — a flyer posted in your department, a web site, a family friend who works at the organization. It is appropriate to mention the name of someone who suggested that you write.

~*~ Convince the reader to look at your resume.
The cover letter will be seen first.
Therefore, it must be very well written and targeted to that employer.

~*~ Call attention to elements of your background — education, leadership, experience — that are relevant to a position you are seeking. Be as specific as possible, using examples.

~*~ Reflect your attitude, personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills.
~*~ Provide or refer to any information specifically requested in a job advertisement that might not be covered in your resume, such as availability date, or reference to an attached writing sample.

~*~ Indicate what you will do to follow-up.
• In a letter of application — applying for an advertised opening — applicants often say something like "I look forward to hearing from you." However, if you have further contact info (e.g. phone number) and if the employer hasn't said "no phone calls," it's better to take the initiative to follow-up, saying something like, "I will contact you in the next two weeks to see if you require any additional information regarding my qualifications."

• In a letter of inquiry — asking about the possibility of an opening — don't assume the employer will contact you. You should say something like, "I will contact you in two weeks to learn more about upcoming employment opportunities with (name of organization)." Then mark your calendar to make the call.

I am writing to express my interest in your firm's current position opening advertised in the Potswiggle Gazette for an Aardvark Inspector "(insert your "dream job" title here) My resume is attached for your reference.

I am aware of Acme Aardvark Incorporated's excellent reputation and your expansion in the service sector. I studied anteater biology at University and have been working in the area of small mammal inspections for 3 years for the Potswiggle City Zoo. I believe that my education and experience are very well tailored to the needs of your company and Acme would be my first choice to continue my career in this field.

I can provide you with personal and professional references upon request. Please contact me at the phone number below if you require further information or to arrange an interview at your convenience.

I look forward to speaking with you about this opportunity,

With best regards,

Hopeful A. Ppliccant

More advice: Keep the letter to about half a typed page, no more. Try to find something out about the company (Google works well for that.) Did they just get an award or a new contract? Mention that you know about it and congratulate them for it. Stress how much you admire the company and how much value you can bring to them (use exact examples of what your talents are.) MAKE SURE ALL YOUR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING ARE PERFECT in both the letter and attached resume.

If they have not advertised your "dream job" position, just modify the first paragraph to describe what your career objectives are and then go on to tell them that they are your first choice and lay out what your talents are that would benefit them.

I've gotten most of my job offers from sending great cover letters including being offered my dream job as a construction manager when I was the only female applicant up against more than 40 guys. (I was the only applicant who complimented the company on a big $4 million contract they had just been awarded.)

Also, this is very important: If you get an interview, IMMEDIATELY after the interview you should send a short letter to the person who interviewed you (be sure to get their business card at the interview) and thank them for their time. Also in that thank-you letter, tell them that you are even more convinced that this is the perfect job for you and that you will be a great employee for them. Tell them you really want the job!! It is amazing how few people do this. Writing a thank you letter more than doubles your chance of getting the job. It shows your enthusiasm and proves to your prospective employer that you would be likely to follow up well with their clients.

Go get that job!

Discuss It!
