Writing a Cover Letter

Writing a cover letter is no less important than a CV in most cases. Most companies want to see your cover letter, so to broad up chances of getting a job, anyone should pay enough attention to it. First what is a cover letter and why so many companies want it?

Job seekers frequently send a cover letter along with their curriculum vitae or application for employment as a way of introducing themselves to potential employers and explaining their suitability for the desired position. Employers may look for individualized and thoughtfully written cover letters as one method of screening out applicants who are not sufficiently interested in their position or who lack necessary basic skills.

So a good cover letter is one more guaranty that you can get a job , and in any industry extra chances is more than a good reason to take it.

First what cover letter must have and what it should avoid having in it:
                It must be short, about half of a A4 page
                It must free of all grammar mistakes
                Free of all spelling mistakes
                Incredibly clear
                You must feel like art of minimalism was applied to it
                You must look really confident in it, like you are already hav this job
                You must show that you are aware what this company is famous for
                Show that you over impressed with an idea of working there
                Show that you know the name of whom going to read your cover letter
                Do not threat them directly
                Yet show that you even know where they live
                All logical stuff

Step one: write Dear [insert name of your employer here]

Step two: write what you want from him

Step three: Write a paragraph in where you tell: why you want to work in this company and why you think you are worthy to be chosen for this position.

Step four: Final paragraph should have thing like: what you going to after getting the job , how happy they are going to be when they will see you in action.

Step five: write all contact information again and don’t forget to add respectful closing statement in the end.
