Creating a Cover Letter

For every resume sent you need to make a
customized cover letter. The cover letter could be the sole difference between being
called for an interview and being rejected.
2)
Your cover letter should be focused and clearly highlight your experience and skills
which are relevant for the job.
3)
You need to make the cover letter in a way that
it complements your resume and
should not turn into a duplicate copy of resume
you have. It should work as an introduction
to details you are providing in the resume so that recruiter feels interested
in opening and reading your resume.
4)
The cover letter should be crisp and to the point. It should be a short letter of maximum one
page and have short paragraphs of about 3 to 4 sentences.
5)
If you are sending your resume over email then it is necessary to keep the letter short and
write it in the message body itself. You should not send it as an attachment if not specifically asked by
the company.
6)
Try to personalize the cover letter by
addressing it to the person who will be scrutinizing
the resume. You can call the company and find out the name of the recruiter
before sending over your resume.

You need to double check the cover letter for probable spelling mistakes and proofread it. If possible ask someone
else to through your cover letter
before you send it. Many times it is possible that you will overlook some mistakes which will be traced by other person.
