How to write a cover letter

.

Everybody who sends a resume, must always send a cover letter with it, whether the resume is dropped in the office, sent by fax or delivered in electronic format through email.

Cover letter is your first impression in front of your recruiter. You can provide more information about yourself in a cover letter which you could not do in the resume.

 
Here are some things to remember when writing a cover letter.
.
Your cover letter should have three main thoughts.
 
In the first section, make sure it's clear right away what position you are applying for. Make sure that, along with the position, you list where you saw it advertised and include any reference numbers for the position. An example of this could be: "Please accept my resume as application for the position of Sales Supervisor (Job Reference # ABC23) which was advertised in Tuoi Tre Newspaper"
 
In the second section, focus on your skills and experience. Make sure you highlight the skills you have as they refer to the job advertisement. You don't need to include all your skills and experience, because you will be mentioning those in your resume. You don't want to overload the reader with non-essential information. Keep this section concise and crisp.
 
Tell the reader what you can bring to the company. Discuss your experience as it relates to the job advertisement. Make sure you remember to place emphasis on your skills that illustrate that this job is for you. But remember to keep it focussed and not too long.
 
The final section should be a closing statement on your desire for an interview and  how they can contact you. Make sure you list the various methods of contacting you and that all your contact information is accurate.
