Resumes And Cover Letters
Online Resume Cover Letter – Two Tips How to Use Them by Casey Alexander
Online Resume Cover Letters are a source of information that sometimes gets mixed reviews. Some say they’re great others say they’re useless. Of course this is going to be tied in to the results each individual experienced using the cover letter. To not make the argument any longer than it already has been, I’m just going to focus on my Experience and the two tips I picked up that really helped me see results.
I job hunt to get a job. Plain and simple! I don’t apply hoping they have the perfect position for me with the perfect salary. Why do I say this? One simple reason, I want a job in a place that gives me two things, opportunity to move up and recognition for my efforts. I can prove the value I bring to the table that’s not a problem. The problem I was having was that I really wasn’t making it to the table. My Online Resume cover letter wasn’t getting me to the Interview.
I was really at a point where I was thinking it was just the job market. “There’s no room for all of us.” That’s really what I was telling myself. Thought I knew better. I looked over my resume and cover letter and decided that I needed to make a change to the way the reader viewed me. I had been using an online resume cover letter that I had plucked from the black hole of the internet. I couldn’t even remember where I got it from. It really sounded good, to me. It covered the basics. It asked for an opportunity to demonstrate my abilities. Told them a little about my Skills and gave them the easiest way to contact me. That’s about all I figured it needed.
I realized the online resume cover letter was too generic and it needed to be more personal to me. I looked for more information online but with my new set of eyes, so to speak, I was realizing that most if not all the information was the same. It just seemed to plain and generic with nothing much to offer and giving little to no reason to call, exactly what had been happening to me. So I searched online but now for a better source of information to make my cover letter stand out. It was either that or I was going to rewrite the letters I was finding online.
Another trick I learned was to never say you see yourself doing anything else than what you’re applying for. Companies don’t like to hire and train only to have them go follow their dreams of American Idol or what ever. I made it clear on my cover letter that I really wanted to be stable, settle into a place and move up.
Those two tips worked for me. Making a custom cover letter, instead of an online resume cover letter and being clear about my intentions to be part of the Company for a long time helped me secure the job I have. What my plans are in the future should only be my business. There’s no reason to unsettle an employer about my future plans. They’re in the future and as long as my employer is getting the best from me, they should be fine.
