can you give me suggestions how to make a good cover letter when applying for a job on-line?

We Answered:

The job of an effective Cover Letter is to convince the reader to look at your resume, therefore it must be targeted to that employer. Research the company and find their mission statement, sales figures and/or goals and find personal attributes that are congruent with the company's core values. Write how and what you are going to contribute to the employer. A good Cover Letter will reflect ones attitude, personality, enthusiasm, motivation, and communication skills. This is where you want to address any details the employer is asking for.

Cover Letters fall into two categories, a Letter of Application and a Letter of Inquiry. A letter of application is in response to an advertised position. A letter of inquiry is a letter asking if there are going to be any open positions coming up. Sometimes with all of your research you still may not have enough information to draft a successful Cover Letter, if this is a case you can write a letter requesting that information and then follow up on that letter in several ways. First by thanking them for the requested information and then address why you would be a great addition to their staff and explain why you are sending your resume.
