Megan Said:

Will my cover letter make my resume too long?

We Answered:

The purpose of a cover letter is to let them know why they got your resume or CV. It states the job you're applying for, gives some particulars that the resume isn't meant to handle, etc. You could give the date you'd be open to employment by the company you're sending the resume to, even something like "upon two weeks notice" or give a specific date. You could also point out your interest in their company. Things like that. The cover letter needs to be short, no more than a single page. If you're sending the resume blind, without them posting a job opening, you need to state the reason in the cover letter.
Some companies don't actually read resumes. They scan them into a word processor and when they want to hire they search for the traits they want.

Bernice Said:

how do I make a cover letter for a resume?

We Answered:

I looked on my microsoft word 'resume' templates, all of them as a matter of fact, and none had a 'cover letter'.

If the job you are applying for does not require one, then skip it. If it does, then just briefly tell them in a small paragraph, about your experiences, and why you would be an asset to their company.

Here is how I would start:

RESUME COVER LETTER (centered in middle of page)

YOUR NAME
ADDRESS


To Whom it may concern:

I am writing you this cover letter to briefly explain as to how I believe I would be a great asset to your company.

I have experiences in various customer service; dealing with a diverse community, in which I believe will help me achieve great public relations with your company's prospective customers. My enthusiastic personality, of wanting to always acheive my best at what I do, will also contribute to your company, and allow your company to help me acquire new skills that may help me in the future.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my application.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME


Hope this helps ya!

Does submitting a cover letter make a big difference?

We Answered:

it makes a huge difference. employers get fludded with resumes... ive found that if you include a cover letter with a little blurb about why you would be good for the job or relevant experience.. it will tempt them to open ur resume and give it a better read
