Cover letters are simply a letter of introduction. In these letters you are explaining who you are and why you are writing to the resume reader. It is a matter of courtesy that you introduce yourself when you are requesting something of them, in this case an interview.

What Instances Require a Cover Letter


My rule is - if you are not shaking hands with the hiring decision maker and introducing yourself, then you need a cover letter to introduce you. If you are shaking hands with the hiring manager, you are introducing yourself verbally and requesting an interview. In this case, hand them your resume without a cover letter.

On the other hand, if you are sending a resume by mail, if you give your resume to a friend to hand in, or if you leave your resume with the hiring manager's secretary then you are not shaking the hiring manager's hand and you need to have a cover letter enclosed with your resume.

Cover Letters Should Be Brief and Simple


Hiring managers only glance at cover letters. They have 50+ resumes to read out of which they will select a few candidates for interviews. I recommend letters be 3-4 paragraphs.

Many people provide lengthy autobiographies in the cover letter. They regurgitate their resume and then some. This is a waste the writer's and reader's time.

Cover Letter Content


Address these 4 topics in a succinct manner and the hiring manager will be grateful.

1) For what position are you applying?

2) How did you learn of the position or company?

3) Why are you perfect for the position?

4) Who will contact who?

I usually cover 1 & 2 in the first paragraph and a paragraph each for 3 & 4.

Writing Your Resume Objective

It's the first thing on a resume after your contact information. Your resume objective may determine a hiring manager's interest in the rest of your resume.

I have seen otherwise perfectly qualified candidates get turned away because, according to their resume objective, they "want to do something else."

When applying for a specific position with a company, make sure your resume objective matches up with the position you are applying for.

When you are putting together a more general resume, either for posting online or for distribution at a career fair, keep the resume objective more general.

Examples of specific resume objectives:

* A position as a Senior Java Software Engineer developing n-tier applications.
* Entry level Electrical Engineer position at XYZ Company.
* SQL Database Developer in the Financial Services Industry.

Examples of more general objectives:

* A position that will utilize my years of experience in application development.
* A position in the Electrical Engineering field.
* A position in Database Development or Administration.

By customizing your objective, the hiring manager (or decision maker) sees instantly that you are a potential fit for the position and that you care enough about first impressions to go that extra step.

AN EXAMPLE RESUME:
