‘’A COVER LETTER’’
What is A Cover Letter???
A cover letter is a document sent with our resume
to provide additional information on our skills and
experience.
A cover letter provides detailed information on why
we are qualified for the job we are applying for.
A cover letter typically accompanies each resume
we send out.
Properties of A Cover Letter
Our cover letter must contain three main points
 Introductory paragraph:
Our cover letter must gain attention and develop an interest
in the employer.
 Attentive body material:
Carry conviction with the help of our past performance.
 Concluding paragraph:
Motivate the prospective employer to take an action.
INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
 Our introductory paragraph must be to the point.
 Don’t be overflowing with some typical words or with many cover
letters.
 We must avoid the usual routine beginnings such as With
reference to your advertisement or In Response to your
advertisement…
 We can appear to be different in our style of our writing such as
The March 5,2003 Jung news paper contained an add for the
post of Project Manager. So I believe I can meet with your Firm’s
needs as I have led various similar projects.
MAIN BODY
 Convincing the reader that you are the best candidate for this
job.
 In this part sell your skills
 Describe your academic and professional skills.
 Present only the highlights of your assets.
 Convince the employer how the company stands to benefit from
your skills.
 Give specific details of your achievements.
 Also mention your reward if you have been rewarded, also
mention the time frame of your reward. Such as I did my
internship at NATIONAL STEEL INDUSTRY.
CONCLUSION
 Persuading the employer to action.
 To make the reply easy.
 Give you a chance for an interview.
 Try to sound natural and appreciative.
