What is a Cover Letter?
 A supplement to the resume that includes more
detailed information about yourself
 It highlights key points in your resume
 Expresses your interest in a position
 Shows off your qualifications to a prospective
employer
Pre-Cover Letter Business
 If you have a company or employer in mind,
do some research regarding their policies and
principles
 Review websites, brochures, pamphlets and any
other pertinent materials you can find about the
company
 If you can, try to speak with current employees; this
will provide you with a unique inside perspective
 Once you’ve done your research and you have a
good idea of what qualifications the company is
looking for, it’s time to separate yourself from the rest
of the pack
 Before you begin writing your letter, take some time
to brainstorm. Make a list of reasons why you’re the
ideal candidate
Continued
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
 Do not over use “I”
Instead, place the focus on the employer and use the
word “you”
 Avoid writing more than one page; since you are
probably competing with other applicants, employers
just don’t have the time to read two pages
 The point of the cover letter is to flesh out your
resume’s selling points not to repeat the same
things that appear in your resume
Beginning The Letter
 You should address the letter to a specific person at
the company you’re applying to. You can usually
find a name in the company’s publications or you can
inquire by telephone
Example of Header:
James L. Pierce
President
Octiv Tech
750 P Street
Sacramento, CA 95826
Salutation
 If you are addressing the letter to a specific person,
start out with the formal salutation: Dear Mr. Pierce.
If you don’t know the name use: Dear Hiring Manager
 Refrain from using the old standby’s: To whom it
may concern or Dear Sir or Madam
Opening Paragraph
 The opening paragraph should accomplish a couple
of goals:
1. It should grab the reader’s attention
2. Discuss the position you are applying for
3. List your references or how you heard about the job
4. Highlight the main points you will focus on in the
letter
Opening Paragraph Example
Dear Mr. Pierce:
As the enclosed resume attests, the customer
support position advertised in the Sacramento Bee is
a perfect fit with my qualifications. My experience
working as a Help Desk Student Assistant in the
Division of Information Technology at San Francisco
State University and my vast experience in the audio
field has prepared me for the technological and user
support this job requires, making me an ideal
candidate for this position.
Body Paragraph(s)
 The body paragraph should accomplish a couple of
goals:
1. Refer employees to certain points in your resume
2. Emphasize your strongest qualifications or top
selling points
3. Show how these qualifications will benefit the
company you’re applying for
4. You may provide examples of your achievements
that have benefited previous companies
5. Be specific in your descriptions
Body Paragraph Example
As my resume highlights, I have offered
high-responsibility computer and software support for
faculty, staff and students. This experience, along with
constant home use of computers, has given me a
thorough background of many different forms of
software and operating systems including the Windows
and Apple families, Microsoft Office, and Dreamweaver. I have
also become very comfortable
Performing hardware and software upgrades on
Windows and Mac machines and working with various
types of networks including wireless and LAN. In
addition, I master new skills quickly and complete tasks
efficiently.
Closing Paragraph
 Your closing paragraph should accomplish a couple
of goals
1. Ask for an interview
2. Set up a possible time and date
3. Try using an active ending; in other words, rather
than asking them to contact you, tell them you will
contact them in a few days
4. Be genuine and thank them for their time
Closing Paragraph Example
Please take the time to look over my resume, and
feel free to contact my references. I would love to
further discuss this position in person. I will follow up
with you in a few days to answer any preliminary
questions you might have. In the meantime, please
do not hesitate to contact me at 916-424-4444.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
 Don’t forget to sign your letter
Double and Triple Check Before Sending
 Check for spelling errors and typos--professionalism
is a must
 Don’t go over a page
 Always customize your cover letter. Don’t forget
to change your contact information
 Maintain a friendly and professional tone
throughout the letter
 Be sure to send both resume
and cover letter to the
prospective employer.
Good Luck!
