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?
