Dear Ms. ...
Start your letter with a grabber a statement that establishes a connection with your reader, a
probing question, you want to mention the name of the job you are seeking and you should
also mention any mutual contact you have within the company or a quotable quote. Briefly
say what job you are applying for. If there is not a specific job, then simply state that you are
seeking employment.
Explain why you think you are qualified for the position. You should not summarize your
resume! You may incorporate a column or bullet point format here. Give evidence of your
experience, for example I have just graduated from a Bachelor of HR Administration Assistant Director - Counseling Clients... Mention your most important qualifications.
Remember, the reader will consider this an example of your writing skills.
In the third paragraph, should primarily thank the employer for his or her time, and
explaining what you will do next (e.g., call the employer) explain why you would like to
work for this particular company. You can also send an e-mail or a fax to follow up on the
hard copy of your resume and cover letter, or you'll call on a certain date to set up a meeting.
Finally, thank the employer for his/her time.
Sincerely,
Christina Wright
