cover letter for job application, added file with the job descriptions
In this assignment you will prepare a cover letter demonstrating your qualifications for this job. If you are not yet qualified, pretend you are: add the degrees, certificates, and skills you will need in bold underlined font like this. Your job application materials are the first contact you will have with a potential employer, and you will want to use proper spelling and grammar, while demonstrating your knowledge of the field.
Tips for structuring your cover letter:
- Begin with a salutation to your hypothetical employer.
- Opening paragraph: Briefly state the position you are applying for and why you are interested in the position.
For example, “It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my credentials in application for the position of XXXX.
- Second paragraph: Describe the job duties associated with that position and how you fit what they are looking for. This is where you “sell yourself” for the position.
- Third Paragraph: Describe the job duties associated with that position and how you fit what they are looking for based on the transferable skills and personal traits.
- Write a very brief summary/closing paragraph
- Sign your letter.
