A cover letter may sometimes be looked over and not even considered when applying for a job or internship. A cover letter allows the employer to see what you are truly about. As seen in the video, a cover letter informs the employer why they should hire you. It covers what is on the resume, but more in depth of your past experiences. Each paragraph should include different information, starting with why you are writing and what position you are looking to be hired, with the last paragraph being on your availability for interview. Remember, just like a resume, cover letters get looked at very shortly, so be sure to put your name and contact information is visible text.

I liked the video. It was fast paced but entertaining. I agree with you on the importance of the cover letter. The resume might not even get looked at if the cover letter is not appealing. Great Tips!
ReplyDeleteFun and informative video. Cover letters are very important, Good job.
ReplyDeleteThe video you chose is perfect! Did you get the rest of your information from the book? I think I tend to forget how important cover letters are... I've faxed a few documents without them, which I'm sure looked sloppy! But since taking this class I've remembered format them correctly.
