How
Important is a Cover Letter?
It is as important as a resumé! You many find this surprising, but many
companies value likability as much as skills, experience and education. You can't market likability on a resumé, it's
not designed for that. You can market
likability in a face-to-face interview, but you have to get the interview. In other words, you have to market likability
on paper in order to get in front of an employer.
Companies want to hire people who
have character, a positive work ethic, and can contribute to the vision and
values of the organization. At Resumés
Etc., we use the cover letter to briefly describe your background, while
focusing on you as a person. As a
result, 50% of our clients have been told that they were interviewed because of
their cover letter. I have included a
sample cover letter to demonstrate how our cover letters humanize you to a
prospective employer.
