PARAGRAPH ONE: State the reason for the letter, name the position or type of work you | |
are applying for and identify the source from which you learned of the opening (i.e.\ | |
career development center, newspaper, employment service, personal contact). | |
PARAGRAPH TWO: Indicate why you are interested in the position, the company, its products, | |
services - above all, stress what you can do for the employer. If you are a recent | |
graduate, explain how your academic background makes you a qualified candidate for the | |
position. If you have practical work experience, point out specific achievements or unique | |
qualifications. Try not to repeat the same information the reader will find in the resume. | |
Refer the reader to the enclosed resume or application which summarizes your qualifications, | |
training, and experiences. The purpose of this section is to strengthen your resume by | |
providing details which bring your experiences to life. | |
PARAGRAPH THREE: Request a personal interview and indicate your flexibility as to the time | |
and place. Repeat your phone number in the letter and offer assistance to help in a speedy | |
response. For example, state that you will be in the city where the company is located on a | |
certain date and would like to set up an interview. Alternatively, state that you will call | |
on a certain date to set up an interview. End the letter by thanking the employer for taking | |
time to consider your credentials. | |
