How To Ace A Cover Letter

A cover letter is a document that introduces and sells yourself by providing information on skills and experiences of a job seeker to be submitted alongside a résumé.

There are several specific things that should be included in every cover letter:

Be specific

You want to be sure to include the company name and address for which you are applying as well as the name of the position the name of the position are interested in. include the name of the person within the company that will be reviewing your cover letter and resume.

Keep it short

Cover letters should be a half a page to a page in length at the most so it is important to use this space to describe how your skills and work history match with the requirements of the position.You do not want to restate what is written in your resume but rather highlight what specific skills from your work history will help you excel in the position you are applying for.

Set expectation

You should always include your plan of action at the end of the cover letter.Include your contact information and the best time you can be contacted at the closing of your cover letter.
