How to Write a Cover Letter Correctly?
Often, job seekers do not think that an additional cover letter to their CV can increase their chances of finding a new job. Writing a cover letter is not as difficult as it may seem, as it does not have to be a voluminous letter. The key is to properly disclose your message's purpose, capabilities, and strengths.
The text of the cover letter usually consists of two paragraphs.
The First Paragraph
The first paragraph introduces you to the reader (recruitment consultant or personnel
manager). You can include the following in the text:
-
Explain the reason for addressing the potential employer. For example: “I ask you to review my credentials for marketing positions in your company” or “I am very interested in temporary projects in your department”.
-
Provide brief information about yourself. For example: "I am currently studying in the last semester at the Academy of Finance and will get a degree in accounting in June. "
-
Include information that shows your knowledge of this company. For example: "Having worked for a long time as a practicing cardiologist, I am familiar with this drug and know that your company has a leading position in this industry."
The Second Paragraph
In the second paragraph, briefly describe your experience, skills, and knowledge that would be useful to the potential employer.
The Ending
At the end of your letter, try to contact a potential employer. Provide information on where, when, and how you can be reached, and show that you are interested in dialogue.
The cover letter should reflect your interest in getting a job in this company, as well as leave a good impression on the reader and increase the chances of your CV being read.
