Things to Think About
Before Writing a Cover Letter
With EasyJob at your side, you'll never have
writer's block when you need to write a cover letter. Before
you begin writing, ask yourself the following questions:
- 1. What does the prospective employer need?
Which skills, knowledge and experience will
be assets in the job you are targeting?
- 2. What are three to five qualities that
you would bring to this employer and/or this job?
If you're responding to a published or posted
job listing or classified ad, those same qualities
mentioned in the ad or posting should be
included in the list of your top qualities. If you're
not applying for a specific job opening, then think of which
skills, knowledge and experience are most
valued in the widest range of positions and companies.
- 3. In what ways does your work experience
match or relate to the job's requirements?
What specific experience or achievements
can you mention which provide credibility to the qualities
you identified in Question 2 above?
- 4. What are the reasons you want to work
for this particular employer?
What do you know about the employer or employing
organization? What features of their products or services,
organizational culture, or company goals relate to your own
background, values, and professional objectives?
