Why most cover letters fail
The reality in employment recruiting
is that most cover letters are not read. Recruiters quickly flip
past the cover letter to scan the resume, then if interested, take
the time to read the resume. They’ll usually read the cover letter
last. We have reviewed some great resources below that you
can purchase to increase your job searching results by over 1000%
If your on a budget, we suggest you simply download one of the

Most people lack effective job searching skills
Mass mailing out hundreds of resumes with form cover letters will
receive little or no response. In this new generation of
employment recruiting, most of these are tossed in the garbage
without even a response. Responding to job postings and ads with
the same cover letter and stock resume is also not effective.
The response rate may be less than 1% for these practices.

Cover letter basics
The cover letter should cover several
important points:
-
what you can do for the company.
-
State your features: briefly state
two or three top skills (from the Summary section of your
resume)
-
State the benefits of these features
(and benefits of hiring you) that will benefit the company
-
Next step – action plan of what you
will commit to & what the company will need to do to buy your
product.
