The Resume Buddy
We are going to use cover letters every time we apply for a job to give us an edge and make our job search efforts more effective. Luckily cover letters are ignored by many applicants, and even who don’t, don’t know how to write a killer cover letter. I will walk you through the format and break it down to you. Don’t worry I’ll provide the sample, I am sure you are already drained writing the perfect resume! You are already working on the resume right? If you are not, you are just wasting time and not really interested in finding a job! You may as well stop reading now. Remember for every fresher job opening in your city, there are thousands of other freshers vying for the same job. If you don’t take this seriously, you won’t find a job any time soon!
Finish working on the resume and get back to this chapter. If you are done with that already, let’s roll!
Depending on how many resumes you create, make sure to customize the cover letters to match the corresponding resumes. Create equal number of cover letters. Don’t be lazy!
We will use the cover letter to highlight our skills, and also demonstrate we are passionate about our field and would love to work as a .NET developer or whatever the job title is for the opening. We do this to increase the chances of getting a reply from the employer and mainly to lock in the interview.
