Letters Writing - The Do's and Don'ts Checklist |
|
Most people do not realize that
it is the shining cover letter and not the resume that is
directly responsible to win job interviews. A well written
cover letter will triple your chances to be called for hot
job interviews. |

How to write a cover letter for
a resume that outshines other job-seekers in the job search
process? Here are the Do's and Don'ts in writing a winning
letter. You can use these guidelines as your writing
checklists. |
|
|
|
The Do's: |
- Visit the company's
website to research the recent news, the company profile
and the contact's name.
- Explore and obtain
information on the position you apply.
- Use the first paragraph
effectively to sell your qualifications.
- Respond to the
advertisement and the job requirements accurately.
- Describe how you can
contribute to the potential company.
- Send the original letter
copy and sign your name in blue ink.
- Ask for an interview and
mention that you will contact the company to follow up the
case.
- Use simple sentence
structure and straightforward language.
- Keep the cover letter
within one page. Always use a white and clean standard
"letter" sheet or A4 paper.
- Provide an email address
and a day phone number where the perspective employers can
reach you easily.
|
|
The Don'ts: |
- Don't send a resume
without a cover letter.
- Don't' address the letter
to any general recipient such as "The Manager" or "To Whom
it May Concern". Always address it to an individual's name
and to the functional manager instead of the HR manager.
- Don't send a letter with
punctuation, spelling and grammar errors. Get someone to
proofread your letter.
- Don't waste any precious
letter space for unnecessary particulars.
- Don't send a generic
letter to different employers. The letter must be tailored
to a specific job and company.
- Avoid unusual letter
format or fancy style. Write your letter using formal and
professional format and easy-to-read character size and
font.
