Search The Site More options Site search Home News ... Advertise with us Friday, March 3, 2000 The Basics of Cover Letter Writing By RICHARD M. REIS Your cover letter and curriculum vita may well be the most important documents you will ever write. They are the first things most academic search committees see, and if you don't want them to also be the last things, you need to take the time to do them right. Although both your cover letter and C.V. must be able to stand on their own, they are clearly linked and so should be developed in tandem. In this column we will look at the cover letter. Next month we will examine the science C.V. Most applicants write poor cover letters that bear no relationship to what goes on in a particular department or school. They are word-processed form letters, and search committees can spot them right away. "In almost no time we can reject half our applicant pool just by looking at their cover letters," says Susan Lord, associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of San Diego. You can also be sure that at least some applicants for a given position will write excellent cover letters. As one engineering professor at San Jose State University, put it: "I took the time to tailor my cover letter to the school and department. This took a lot of research, but it paid off." Her letter resulted in an interview, and an eventual job offer.

Google It You have probably heard the expression about making a good impression. Well think of your cover letter as your chance to make a good, eye-catching, lasting impression. So when you are writing your cover letter, you need to spend a bit of time on it and put some thought into what you actually want to say. Many people struggle with this part of the resume process because you essentially have to sell yourself. So here are a few pointers you can follow to make writing your cover letter a little easier. Take the time to customize your cover letter for the position you are applying for. Pay close attention to whom the cover letter is being addressed. You would make a terrible first impression if you addressed the cover letter to the wrong person. Keep your cover letter at an appropriate length. A general rule to follow is to keep it under one page. Any longer and you may risk putting the reader to sleep. Point out your top selling points as they relate to the job position and job description. If the job description calls for strong computer skills, describe the computer skills that you do have to offer.

Look up our past topics in Focus for the tips of Building a Successful Resume . Write your cover letter using the checklist below to ensure giving a good first impression to your prospective employer. Sample letter (for fresh graduates) Checklist for a perfect cover letter Address the right person Name the correct title as it's advertised Precise and concise Tailored for the specific job ... The right letter is in the right envelope with the right address Address the right person Read the job ad carefully and pay special attention to the person your application is addressed to. Don't take it for granted and address "Dear Sir" when it's obviously a female recipient. It looks even worse when you address "Dear Human Resources Manager" but the ad says to the "General Manager". It's only the start of the letter and you don't want the reader to stop there and discard your application. Name the correct title as it's advertised Make sure you are naming the job correctly. You may be applying for a few positions at the same time but don't mix up. Have the Position in bold to catch the reader's attention so that he or she won't get mixed up either. Making the recruiters' job easier is not your duty but you should do everything possible to get your application to stand out from all the rest. Do include the job reference number if you are requested to do so.

Job Listings Volunteer and Intern Listing Job-hunting Advice Job Links Submit a Job for Artists or Writers Job-hunting Advice for Designers, Artists, Illustrators Careers and Salaries Job Status Informational Interviews Resumes ... Business Advice The following suggestions have been gathered from a number of recruiters and career specialists, including Susan Lee, Rita Sue Siegel, The U. of Wisconsin Art Department, the California EDD, and excerpted from my Careers and Salaries Digital Design and Multimedia The EDD defines Desktop Publishing, Prepress, Graphic Design, Web Design, Animation and Computer-aided Illustration as Multimedia jobs. (I generally prefer the term 'Digital Design' ). Digital design / Multimedia has been around for a number of years, but it is only within the past few years that it has been recognized as a rapidly emerging new industry. This emerging industry is creating many new career and job opportunities for people with knowledge and skills in these areas. An important and interesting difference between careers in multimedia and many other career areas is the large proportion of freelance workers in the industry. Many people with careers in multimedia are not steadily employed by a single company or employer, but rather move from project to project working on a contractual basis. Each new project may bring together a different collaboration of professionals into what might be considered a "virtual company" with a life limited to the duration of the project. These professionals create a virtual workforce who are often paid by the hour and expect their current employment to terminate with the end of the project. Therefore, these freelance workers must have a number of entrepreneurial skills in addition to their technical skills. They must also be able to work effectively as a member of a team whose membership changes with each project.

A professional resume crafted by the experts at A and A Resume can be the best investment you ever make! Why? Each time you submit your resume to an employer, it will be carefully scrutinized against tens, if not hundreds, of other applicants. Any flaw, inconsistency or slight imperfection on the resume will be grounds for exclusion. After all, the employer has to narrow the field of applicants to a more manageable number. Imagine yourself as the employer - 200 resumes from 200 qualified applicants. Now what? Obviously you do not have the time or resources to call in 200 people for an interview. A resume is a textual representation of the applicant. That's why you cull the applicant list by closely examining each resume. This begs the question - is your resume as good or better than the other 199? Unfortunately, this is why many highly qualified individuals find themselves unemployed, underemployed, or in a dead-end job with no opportunities for advancement. The professionals at A and A Resume have more than years of cover letter and resume writing expertise with thousands of satisfied customers from every continent on earth. As the most experienced resume service on the Internet, they are expert at crafting a resume that will unleash your potential and keep your resume on the employer's desk, not in their wastebasket!

Search RTNDA RTNDF My Communicator This Month ... Internet Job Hunting Strategies Job Hunting Tips With layoffs and consolidations, it's likely that more people are looking for jobs these days. Here are some tips news executives say will improve your chances of landing an interview, and help you avoid rookie mistakes that even veteran journalists make. Follow directions! This is a top issue for many executives. Bob Goldberger, news director at KNTV in San Francisco, says he always writes "no calls" in job listings. "If they call, I know they can't follow instructions," he says, and he will indeed throw that person's tape in the round file. Moral of the story: Follow directions. Proofread. Misspellings and grammatical errors could cost you a job. So can getting a person's name wrong. "I can't tell you how many resumes I get with wrong titles, or my name misspelled," says Sally Ramirez, executive producer at KGW-TV in Portland, OR. "[If you] didn't even get my name right, why would I trust you with the facts of a story?" Double-check your tape. In more than one case, TV news directors say they've gotten tapes with no audio. This, of course, will say wonders about your attention to detail.
