 The Perfect Cover Letter

Here are 4 Little-Known Secrets to getting the employers attention and then asking for the job interview in your cover letter.

1. Use a headline to grab their attention.

A great headline written in Bold Title Caps just above the greeting in your cover letter, will definitely grab the readers attention and make your cover letter stand out from the rest. For example:

"I Am Asking For The Opportunity To Interview For The Position Of [Insert Job Title here]."

2. Begin with a list of your qualifications.

"Your description of the position of sales manager suits me perfectly. I've been recognized for all the attributes you mentioned. But I'm also interested in finding out your expectations for the person you hire. I'd be happy to come to your office for an in-person meeting. Meanwhile, following are some of the responsibilities I've had over the past three years."

(Follow this with bullet points or a numbered list).

3. Suggest a meeting time in your final paragraph.

"Can we schedule an interview within the next two weeks? I'm available any afternoon between 1:00 and 5:00. I will arrive prepared and ready to listen and to answer any questions you may have. What works best for you?"

4. Finish off by communicating your enthusiasm.

"I'm eager to meet you in person to discuss my qualifications and to hear what you have to say. [Insert Company Name Here] is at the top of my list of companies I'd like to work for. You can reach me any time on my cell phone: 555-555-5555."

Let go of waiting and hoping. These four secrets when applied strategically will land you more interviews that bring results! Take charge of your career today by asking for (and getting) what you want.
