List a referral source if possible.  \nMiddle Paragraph(s) : List your value to the company. Describe how you will contribute to the company from Day One. This should be based on research of the company and job. Share knowledge of the company’s goals, accomplishments and opportunities.

An employer likely wishes to see a cover letter accompanying your resume even if it isn’t stated specifically in an ad or mentioned in conversation. A resume is a fairly generic listing of what you’ve done, but the cover letter lets you tailor your skills and abilities to the specific job.  \nTip \\# 2: Cover letters are a snapshot of you as a potential employee. The importance of first impressions is clear when it comes to cover letters. In just a few paragraphs, you must present your personality, your communication skills, your attention to detail and, most importantly, your interest in that specific company and your qualifications for the job. A good cover letter will convince the employers that you could be the right person for the job.  \nTip \\# 3: A cover letter sets you apart from the other applicants. A resume by itself has limitations, telling the employer little about your professional interests and qualifications. A cover letter helps you highlight specific aspects of your experience that qualify you for the position. By knowing what is useful to the employer and calling attention to that in your cover letter, you help him or her quickly answer the question,“Why should I hire this person?”  \nTip \\# 4: Don’t use a form letter. You can find many books, websites and other guides with hundreds of sample cover letters. Use them as a starting point to help you get ideas for format and content but don’t copy them. Write your cover letter in your own words so it has your voice, not that of some unknown author. Take the time to research the company and convey your own enthusiasm for the job. A bland, generic cover letter says that you didn’t care enough about the position or the employer to expend any effort creating a specific and detailed letter.  \nTip \\#5: Cover letter should be actual letters. A cover letter is supposed to be brief, readable and professional. The ideal cover letter will be four to five paragraphs long with each paragraph consisting of maybe three or four sentences. It is always typed, never handwritten, and never be more than one page in length.  \nTip \\# 6.: Don’t tell your life history or repeat your resume. A cover letter is nothing more than a sales tool designed topique an employer’s interest in you. Focus on the qualifications that best help an employer decide why you should be hired for the job.  \nTip \\# 7: Set the proper tone for your employment history. If you are currently employed, you don’t need to explain in the cover letter why you are looking for a new job – you’ll have time to do t","cbCaisB6ZF7DSqDT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisB6ZF7DSqDT","pdf",255804,"English","# Sample Cover Letter Format\n## Header and Contact Information\n## Salutation\n## Cover Letter Body Structure\n## Complimentary Close\n# Important Cover Letter Tips","[{\"question\":\"What is the recommended structure of a cover letter’s body?\",\"answer\":\"Use three parts: an opening paragraph that introduces yourself and explains why you’re writing, middle paragraphs that describe your value and contributions, and a final paragraph that requests an interview and states when you’ll follow up.\"},{\"question\":\"Should you include a cover letter with your resume?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
