HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER OF A RESUME

A cover letter is essentially the application that you send to the relevant recruitment company along with your resume. Only when the recruiter expressly denies the demand for the same does this particular one-page application not need to be provided.

PURPOSE OF A COVER LETTER:

Before we get started, it is crucial to understand why we want a cover letter to be sent with the resume. The cover letter mostly serves the following purposes:

·         You should meet the recruiter now.

·         Mention the specifics of the application profile.

·         Mention the applicant's qualifications for the relevant profile.

·         Encourage the recruiter to continue the conversation.

 OPTIMAL LENGTH OF A COVER LETTER:

Due to the fact that a cover letter is only supposed to be a summary of the information in your resume, it is typically only one page in length. Simply put, think of it as the introduction to a 400-page book!

ESSENTIALS REQUIRED FOR A COVER LETTER

a)      DIFFERENT COVER LETTERS FOR VARIOUS PROFILE: Never, ever utilise a single cover letter for all different kinds of job profiles. The qualifications and skill sets needed for each job profile differ. Create a brand-new cover letter each time you apply for a certain position or organisation.

b)      TO WHOM YOU’RE ADDRESSING: Try to avoid using phrases like "To whom it may concern," which is how people typically address things. If you're asking why such restrictions must be adhered to, it has to do with basic psychology. Instead of making blanket appeals, it tends to pique the interest of that specific authority more when you address them specifically.

c)      GROUND WORK ON JOB PROFILE AND ORGANIZATION: It is an easy tactic. Knowing more about your goal will actually make it simpler for you to reach it. People often conduct extra research on the work they are engaged in in order to sustainably improve their performance levels.

THINGS TO BE INCLUDED IN COVER LETTER

a)      PERSONAL INORMATION: I only mean personal information on a strictly professional level when I say that. Do not include any personal information that is unrelated to the position you are applying for.

b)      CONTACT INFORMATION: It generally consists of the organization's name and contact details. Its importance that it won't be sent to the wrong address is related to this specific characteristic.

c)      JOB PROFILE: I would strongly encourage you to revaluate your options if you are thinking about them in this regard. Every organisation posts job openings online and in a variety of other media. Depending on the job description a candidate is applying for, the profiles change.

Therefore, indicating the job description you are looking for allows for higher discretionary requirements and increases the likelihood that your CV will be taken into consideration for further hiring processes.

d)      RELEVANT SKILLS: The term "relevant" is actually used for a purpose. Specific skills are what the recruiter is looking for in a candidate. If the hiring manager is seeking for a talented programmer with Java coding expertise, he does not want you to list article writing as one of your skills. A brief mention of your writing skills can spice up the cover letter, but a detailed explanation is not advised.

e)      BEST-FIT NATURE FOR THE PROFILE: If you've had interviews before, you might be familiar with a certain query that hiring managers frequently ask.

WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU:

Make it a habit to answer this question in advance and to list all the characteristics that make you the applicant most suitable for the job profile in question.

INCLUDE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION AND A REQUEST FOR A FOLLOW-UP:

It is clear from your repeated specific reference of your contact information and your request that they follow up on the same that you are interested in this particular job profile. Always keep in mind that recruiters only get in touch with applicants whose resumes clearly demonstrate their suitability for the position.

HAVE A PROFESSIONAL TOUCH:

When communicating with the recruiter, always attempt to use professional language. This displays your level of market knowledge and expertise, which makes you the most qualified applicant for the position.
