In addition to resumes, cover letters are of great significance. The cover letter is your introduction to the employer. It should summarize who you are and what you want. The cover letter displays your writing skills, highlights your professional approach, communicates motivation and demonstrates your research on the employer and/or field. It can also illustrate your awareness of those skills or training that are relevant to effective job performance. As with the resume, cover letters should be typed on standard paper and be carefully proofread. They should be direct and concise, usually no longer than 3/4 of a page. The following are a few guidelines for the covering letter and samples provided.
Opening paragraph
The position you are applying for (including the competition number, if given).Where you saw the ad (give name and date of publication).If someone who knows the employer referred you, give the name of that person.Your interest in the position.
Body paragraph(s)
Why you are suited for the job.How you match the specific job requirements listed in the ad, related experience, training, qualifications, skills, background and attributes.
Closing paragraph
State your interest in meeting with the employer for an interview. Make it easy for the person to contact you – list one or two phone numbers where they can reach you or leave a message number or e-mail address..
Make sure you remember to sign your covering letter!
With Respect to References…
The question of whether or not to include references on the resume often arises. Generally you are advised to note: to be supplied upon request in the reference section. However, if you are in an active job search and you always use the same referees, who have given you blanket permission to use their names, you may include them if space permits.
When you go to a job interview, you should have a list of references prepared which includes: Name, Title, Company, Phone numbers. References should be work-related and supervisory, whenever possible.
