Do you have the same feelings when each time you want to send a cover letter in exactly the same way as before? Maybe all you need is a change.


Essential Job Tips ò€“ The Interview

Finding a new job or changing jobs is difficult but there are some simple things you need to know which can make the whole experience a lot easier and smoother. When you find the job which suits you and you have been successful in your application you still need to face the most daunting task ò€“ the interview.


How to prepare a good Cover letter?

The first point you should bear in the mind that unlike resume a cover letter can not be made without exactly knowing which company and what post you are applying for. It means cover letters are tailor made to each job advertisement and hence can not be prepared in advance or can not be re-used for more than one job.

To elaborate further a resume is a statement of facts about one"s credentials which is more or less static in nature unless some basic facts changes. Whereas Cover letter is more flexible and dynamic. The main objective of the cover letter is to fill the gaps of resume wherever necessary. It is tailor made keeping the requirements of the employer or job description in mind. It should supplement facts and points mentioned in the resume.

Resume should act as a guideline while drafting your cover letter and depending on the requirement of the job for which you are applying, you can either highlight certain traits/achievements on the one hand or leave insignificant points mentioned in the resume on the other hand, to make your case more focused and presentable.

Another striking feature of a cover letter is that it is more of a personalised explanation of facts and even to certain extent exaggeration is also permitted to emphasis certain points. While drafting a cover letter you should use the first person as the author. For example "I HAVE MORE THAN 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY". Whereas a resume is written as if a third person is stating the facts.

In a nut shell ,a good cover letter can give purpose and direction to your resume in terms of the advertised job, when read together with your resume.
