Now that your resume is finished, you're ready to
write your cover letter. An essential tool in creating a
professional impression, your cover letter should not be
undervalued.
Make sure to...
- Take your time
- Demonstrate that you've read the part time
job advertisement - match your skills and experience to
the role requirements by using key phrases identified
in the job ad
- Check for spelling mistakes
- Keep it brief and get to the point – your
letter should be no more than one page
- Use short sentences, even highlighted words to
communicate your key selling points
- Clearly identify the person to whom you're
sending the letter
Always Include...
- Your return address
- Their address
- The date
- Your contact details marked clearly with your
preferred method of communication. How would you most
like them to contact you
