Entry Level Resume Cover Letter - Don't Under Sell Yourself

This is what I did on my very first resume.÷  I"m not saying it doesn"t work.÷  I simply didn"t work for me.÷  I stated my desire for the position.÷  I slightly went over my resume and pointed out that I was proficient in most computer programs.÷  I, of course, stated I could incorporate myself to the work team and would have no trouble getting along with anyone.÷  What I missed the boat on was the showing part.÷  You know where you stop telling and give an example of what"s running through your head as your writing.÷  To make it short, I didn"t give them enough of a reason to call me in.

Again, frustration, I know I could have been a good addition to the team but without giving them a reason to call and interview me I missed out.÷  Out of that same feeling, I looked for information I could use to put together a compelling letter that would show them that yes, I was entry level but I had a lot of energy and hunger to learn and grow.

I"m in the educational field and I was fortunate to have participated in several different programs that did in fact help me prepare for the job I was applying for.÷  I had an opportunity to work with many people from different places and backgrounds.÷  Briefly sharing this information would have made a huge difference to the reader"s perception of where I could fit in with the company.÷ ÷  That"s what I learned from some of the programs I looked into while researching how to improve my resume cover letter.

I didn"t incorporate any of that information on my first entry level resume cover letter.÷  I completely changed the format of my letter with my new information.÷  Better yet I was able to deliver a letter that used language the interviewer could relate to and make the distinction between someone with some experience and someone without.

It worked out, I was called back to several second interviews and I was hired shortly after making those changes to my resume.÷  I"m not saying it was a breeze to get the job.÷  It was just better presented and that was the difference between having an opportunity to interview and not.
