Employment letters
 | The Cover Letter
The cover letter includes application,
prospecting and networking
letters. Letters of application are used for positions that have been publicly advertised.
A prospecting letter is used when contacting an organization that is not currently
advertising. A networking letter introduces you to a person who can assist you in your
career field, either by providing information on the career field or on specific
opportunities.
| Opening Paragraph: The
first paragraph should identify your purpose for writing. State how you heard about the
position, company or who referred you to this person.
|
| Middle Paragraph(s):
State your reasons for wanting to work for this employer. Outline your unique
qualifications, skills and experiences in relation to their needs.
|
| Closing Paragraph: The
final paragraph should thank them for their time, request a meeting time and communicate
with them how you intend to follow up. If you state that you will call them on a specific
date, make sure that you do so.
