COVER LETTERS:

A cover letter should be used anytime you submit your resume. You should always write it specifically for the company you are contacting. It is your “personal advertisement” and should be focus on two things:

1. Why they NEED you

2. Why you DESIRE to work for them

THANK YOU LETTERS:

You should ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS send a thank you letter to follow up on an interview….no exceptions! If you are not sure where to begin, start by viewing these Points to Consider. Use the following as a guideline:

Basic Parts to a Thank You Letter:

  • Statement of appreciation
  • Expressions of interest in the job
  • Brief statement of qualifications / skills
  • Next, you have an opportunity to add additional information you failed to mention in the interview
  • Final “Thank You”
  • Date and time you will follow up [as previously agreed]

Tip:  Make sure you get a business card from each person that interviews you. If the interview is conducted by more than one person send a letter to EACH one.
