Abstraction
When you apply for a job, you need to send a cover letter. A cover letter
introduces you to the person who is hiring for the job.
Before you write the cover letter, you need information about the job,
especially the qualifications needed. The best place to find this information is in
the advertisement where you learned about the job.

A cover letter is an accompanying letter
that serves as the introduction to your
resume. No resume should be sent without
one. The cover letter is individualized for
each position for which you are applying. It
is an extension of your resume and reflects
your knowledge of the employer’s needs.
What is a cover letter?
The purpose of the cover letter is to introduce
yourself to an organization, demonstrate your
interest in the company or a specific vacancy,
draw attention to your resume and motivate the
reader to interview you. Often this letter is the
first contact you have with a prospective
employer. A neat, concise, well-written letter can
entice the employer to read your resume with
greater interest and will improve your chances
of
getting an interview.
What is the purpose of the cover letter?
The cover letter typically consists of three
parts:
introduction, body, and closing. Within
these three parts you must include:
• why you are interested in the organization
• why they should be interested in you
• when and how you will contact them to
follow up and schedule an appointment
How should cover letters be organized?
• Use an accepted business letter format.
• Personalize each letter.
• Use non-sexist language.
• Limit your letter to one page.
• Use attention-getting action verbs and
adjectives.
• Proofread, proofread, proofread. Check
and check again for spelling errors.
