How do I write a cover letter to go with my resume?

We Answered:

Correspondence to business and organisations has to be written in a formal manner.
A cover Letter should never be longer than one page.
Mention achievements or strengths, apart from your qualifications and job experience. (uncertain what is meant here). Check out Writing about your achievements.
Your letter should be address to a specific person. Job research is very important. One of the results of your job research should be the name of the person responsible for the recruitment.
Keep the letter to the point. The letter must be easy to read and follow.

Do not send a hand written cover letter if you are not asked. If the job advert specifies a http://www.cvtips.com/letter_writing_sam… letter writing sample then send one! Make sure the letter is error free and that the same font is used throughout. Make sure that your letter and CV are similar in style.
Use top quality stationary. The envelope, the paper and the style of your CV stationary should match that of the cover letter.
Make sure that whatever you write in your cover letter is backed up by facts or at least be able to convincingly back them up in the interview.
Convey your enthusiasm about the job opportunity. You have to show that you are confident in your expectations about the job selection but do not be 'cocky'.
Sign your cover letter and write your name in block capitals under your signature.

I'm applying for jobs but I need to send my resume with a cover letter,but how do i write a good cover letter?

We Answered:

Use Microsoft word to type your cover letter. Also check on google for some examples of other people's cover letters. Don't copy it but try to use the guidelines. Make sure you use paragraphs The first paragraph should be you stating that your are applying for a position within their company Second paragph should talk about yourself and include your skills, experience, why you should get the job and what you can do for them. final paragraph should be closing and include a means for them to contact you.
