Confirmation FSPR


WRITING COVER LETTERS A cover letter provides an opportunity to explain how your experiences will benefit a potential employer. The letter introduces you to the company by highlighting your transferable skills, special features of your education and other experiences which qualify you for a particular position within the organization. A well-written letter distinguishes you from other applicants and is equally as important as your résumé in a job search. Cover letters will almost always need to accompany your résumé, however when application instructions are provided, you should follow them exactly. Companies may specify what items they want or do not want submitted with an application (i.e. cover letter, references, transcript). CONTENT AND FORMAT An effective cover letter is written in a formal business-letter format and is one page in length. Your letter needs to be concise, well-organized and tailored to both the position and company to which you are applying. Your cover letter demonstrates your writing skills, so proofread it multiple times. Employers will notice your grammar, style and spelling. One simple mistake can negatively impact your candidacy. Your letter should be written to a specific person in the organization. Write to a person who has the ability to hire you (who may or may not be someone in Human Resources). Avoid using the impersonal "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom It May Concern." If you have any questions about to whom to address the letter, use the resources available at the library or the Office of Student Services, or call the company and ask for the correct name, spelling, and title. Personalization of your letters makes a positive impression with employers. If you're sending your cover letter and resume by email, include them as PDF attachments to ensure that the formatting remains intact. Make your accompanying email message short and clear. Indicate the reason for the email and direct the receiver to your attached documents. Make sure your email address is appropriate for communicating with an employer. Opening Paragraph: • State why you are writing the letter and how you found out about the position • State why you are interested in the position, focusing on how you can meet the company's needs • Craft an effective statement that will entice the recipient to read your letter in its entirety • Summarize the body of your e-mail Body: • Focus on telling the story of how your experiences will be of benefit to the employer • Highlight just a few of the most relevant examples from your background which are most directly related to the position and explain why they are of importance to the employer • Avoid writing a letter which mainly restates the information that is on your resume • Avoid exaggerating your experience, role in group projects and/or level of content knowledge • Create one or two short paragraphs for this section (typically 6-8 sentences if using one paragraph; 3-4 sentences per paragraph if using two paragraphs) Closing: • Thank the reader for their time and re-express your interest in the position • Depending on the application instructions for the position, indicate the timeframe within which you will contact the recipient to follow-up on your application • Sign your letter, even if you are going to send it as a PDF attachment to an e-mail HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS • Develop an organizational system for your job or internship search • Keep a copy of all of your cover letters and make notes about any follow-up needed or completed • Demonstrate professionalism in all e-mail, phone and fax communication with employers Career Management in the Office of Student Services 180 Statler Hall • (607) 255-6376 • Fax (607) 255-9540 • www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/students/careers/ 2 COVER LETTER BASICS FROM CORNELL CAREER SERVICES CAREER GUIDE Return address indicates where Susan is currently living.
