 Cover Letter Overview

line
Your cover letter serves two major purposes. It should convince potential employers that "you" are a perfect fit for the position. It should explain how the potential position specifically meets your current career objective.
           
           
 
  

Emphasize How You Might Contribute To A Problem The Employer Is Facing

Sell your services accordingly. Make sure you emphasize the ways you can make a contribution to the selected employer's mission or bottom line. You may also emphasize how you might contribute to a problem the employer is facing.

An effective cover letter should also reveal:
  • Your ability to write and communicate;
  • Your relevant experience and qualifications;
  • Your degree of professionalism; and
  • Your attention to detail and organization.
