COVER LETTERS

There are some types of cover letters used during the job search process:

- application letters (serve as an introduction to your resume),

- letters of inquiry (an inquiry about possible vacancies),

- thank you letters (a follow-up to an interview),

- acceptance letters (to accept a job offer), or rejection letters (used to thank an employer for a job offer, but to reject it).

Application Letters

This type of letter is used to apply for specific vacancy and accompanies your resume. It gives you an opportunity to introduce yourself to an employer and provides a link between the job, your skills, and experience. The application letter should inform the reader why he or she is receiving the CV/ resume. If you have already spoken to them by phone or in person, note this in your letter.

Give detailed information about your qualifications without repeating information from your CV. Instead, state the value of your experiences, education, or personal qualities. Ask yourself “What have I learned from these experiences?” Then relate this to the skills you can provide to the employer. Emphasize what you can do for the employer, not how you will personally benefit from being hired for the job. When applying for a specific position, your letter should reflect the qualifications listed in the actual job posting. The closer the match between the employer’s requirements and your background, the more likely you will be contacted for an interview. Letters should be professional, yet written creatively. Use this type of letter in response to specific job advertisements and vacancy announcements. Your task is to demonstrate that your qualifications fit the requirements of the position.
