What is a cover letter?  \n􀂃 An introduction to your resume and qualifications.  \n- Should complement, not duplicate, your resume. Purpose is to interpret the data-oriented, factual resume and add a personal touch.  \n􀂃 Used by employers to determine your interest in the position and to assess your written communication skills.  \n􀂃 Most importantly, along with the resume, a way to land an interview offer. It’s often your earliest written contact with a potential employer, creating a critical first impression. Should intrigue the employer enough to read your attached resume and then want to personally meet you.  \n􀂃 Should answer the following questions:  \n- Why are you writing? Why are you interested in the job? Why are you qualified?  \n2. Be specific…  \n􀂃 Don’t be a “robo-writer” – cover letters should be individually tailored for each targeted position.  \n- Should be addressed to a specific person by name and title.  \n- Use job title and company name.  \n- Use specific examples of why you’re applying and why you’d be perfect for the job. Explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences. Remember that relevance is determined by the employer’s self-interest; the letter should express a high level of interest and knowledge about the specific position.  \n- Reference anyone who told you about the job, or people you know who work at the company.  \n􀂃 Don’t be too personal – keep it pertinent.  \n3. …and brief.  \n􀂃 Put yourself in the reader’s shoes and imagine if you had to read 100 cover letters. What would make a letter stand out? What would you want to read? What would make you keep reading? Would you read more than one page?  \n4. General format:  \n􀂃 First paragraph: Introduction  \n- State the reason for the letter, the position you are applying for, and, if applicable, how you learned of the position.  \n􀂃 Middle paragraphs: Information  \n- What makes you perfect for the job? Include specific examples, highlights from your resume, etc. Pay close attention to the job description, even using similar language in your letter. Incorporate your knowledge of the company or organization based on research you’ve done – it shows your interest!  \n􀂃 Last paragraph: Wrap-up  \n- Thank them for their time and consideration. Mention that your resume is enclosed. Provide the best contact information for reaching you should they want to schedule an interview.  \n5.

Dye  \n■  ■   \nTo the hiring committee:  \nI am writing to express my interest in the position of Software Developer on the Data Analytics team at MITRE Corporation. I am a senior at Hendrix College, pursuing a double major in mathematics and computer science. I am extremely interested in working with the Data Analytics team, and believe my previous experience as an analyst intern at Acxiom Corporation, coursework, and professional experience would make me a valuable software developer.  \nI first heard about MITRE from a family member, and upon further research was impressed with the work your corporation does. MITRE’s fostering of cultures of knowledge sharing and management are intriguing, and helped further solidify my desire to become a contributing member as a software developer.  \nAs an analyst intern with Acxiom for approximately eight months, I learned many of the analytical skills that I believe are necessary to succeeding in the position of software developer.
