Back again with another professional development guide! First off, I will not be going through the format of the cover letter in its entirety as you can just google that. It doesn't change. I want to give you my approach to the cover letter. I think my ideas are strong, as the same professional who helps with our resumes guided us along for a cover letter. Personally, I feel I never write the right thing in my cover letters, though I have confidence in the fundamentals behind it which I'm providing! Without further ado, here we go!
What is the cover letter? This is sort of like writing out your resume while not actually referencing anything in your resume at all in that you are talking yourself up. It should emphasize YOU. It is an alternative way for the employer to get to learn who you are, what you want, and why you are worth it.
I usually keep it to 2 full paragraphs and make a third �paragraph� which closes it out stating that I look forward to the employer reading my resume next and contacting me about the position. Below I will outline how my own personal cover letters look. It is a bit different than what you look up when you google templates.
I am putting this in a spoiler so only members can read it!
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND AS ALWAYS POST OR PM ME QUESTIONS.
