3 Attachment : Guidelines for a Professional Cover Letter A well written cover letter engages the reader and makes them want to view your resume. There are two types of cover letters, Formal and Informal. A Formal Cover Letter is used for mailing, fax, uploading or copying/pasting purposes. An Informal cover letter is used for . First let s look at a formal cover letter: A formal cover letter should start off with your present address on the first line; city, state and zip code on the second line; and the date you composed the letter on the third line. You should skip a line and then include the name of the Hiring Manager or contact person, followed by their title (if provided), company/organization, and the company s street address, city, state and zip code. If you do not have access to a contact name you may leave the name and title off. In your greeting, if you do not have a contact name, use an introduction such as Dear Sir or Madam or Dear Hiring Manager instead of To Whom It May Concern. The first section of your cover letter should include: Why Am I Writing? Here you should identify the position you are applying for or the vocational interest area you are inquiring about. You should also identify how you heard of the opening or organization and why you decided to contact the employer. The Second section should include: Who Am I and Why Should You Hire Me? Here is where you can elaborate on your personal skills, experiences and qualities that relate to the position (or interest area) instead of on your actual resume. You can highlight one or two of your strongest qualifications and explain how they relate to the needs of the employer. Do not simply restate the facts that are on your resume ( Through my public relations internship at WBRZ, I have developed selling and communication skills that are essential to the position of X, sounds more informative than, I have worked in public relations as an intern ). Explain why you are specifically interested in the employer and the type of work/location, etc. Lastly your third section should include what your next step should be. Refer the reader to the enclosed application, resume, vita, and/or status of other required documents. Close the letter with a strong interest in pursuing the next step of an informational interview, an employment interview, and/or additional information or application. Be assertive and state how you intend to follow up such as ( I will be calling you on certain date to see if an interview can be arranged or I will call you during the week of XX to arrange a convenient time to discuss career options ). Clearly indicate whether you or the employer will follow up and what the next step will be. You should skip for lines between your salutation and your typed name to allow enough room for your handwritten signature. At the bottom of your document you may identify what enclosures you are submitting with you cover letter, such as application, resume, references, etc. Next we will look at an informal cover letter:
4 The differences between a formal and informal cover letter are that in an informal cover letter you do not include any names or addresses in the header. The body of your letter remains the same. Also you should not leave spaces for a handwritten signature as you did for a formal cover letter. If you are attaching other documents such as a resume or references, this should be notated at the end of your letter. For an informal cover letter, the body of your should be your cover letter and you should attach your resume. If asked for, your references should be attached as well. Tips: Remember to match your skills, abilities and experiences to the job description to show the employer that you are the best candidate for the position. Use the company s language found in the job description. If they say customers, use the word customers instead of clients, patrons, guests, etc. Cover letters can be more than three paragraphs but never longer than one page. Font should be formal such as Times New Roman or Arial and font size should be 0- font.
