One key factor to having a successful
cover letter is how you highlight your
strengths in a way that is most relevant
to your potential employer. This helps them determine your qualifications for
the job with ease. The way sentences are structured and important emphasized
are also key components for a good resume.
In-coming cover letters are typically reviewed in 10-25 seconds, so put
forth the effort and determine which bullets most strongly support your job
search objective. Put the strongest and most relevant points first where they
are more apt to be read. This is your hook for the reader and the rest of your
resume reels them in. Placing supplemental information, such as your interests
can put more flavor and color on your cover
letter, it can also further increase the chance of you getting that job.
Lastly, be positive. Leave out negatives and irrelevant point that doesn’t really affect your performance for the
job.
