A Really Great Resume Cover Letter

Posted on Wednesday, June 20, 2007 by Frank Roche

You only get one chance to make a first impression. That goes double for the cover letter that you attach to your resume.

I’ve seen some bad ones, which is why I was intrigued by an article titled What Does a Good Cover Look Like? on Ask a Manager. It’s an example of a really great resume cover letter.

Wouldn’t it be cool to put a reference to this letter on your career site? Wouldn’t it be great to give candidates a cover letter roadmap? I’ll bet you recruiting managers out there have seen a lot of good ones — and a lot of bad ones. Why not show your potential employees what success looks like right off the bat? Sometimes your best candidates just don’t know how to write a knockout cover letter. You can help.

Support this post around the web. We would really appreciate it.

    It is very important for applicants to have some view on what really is to be their cover letter based on the position they are applying. I have some free sample cover letter on http:www.lettercover.com. You might find one suited for you.

    Cover letter plays important role in landing a job. It must be well-written and attractive in the eyes of your potential employers.
