How 2 Do Things

This article describes how to write a resume cover letter.

Address your letter to the proper person at the company you are seeking employment, whether it is the human resources manager, hiring or recruiting manager, or the person who would be your boss if you receive the job.

First, state the position you are seeking to obtain at the company. Then, write a sentence or two about your expertise that explains how your skills are perfect for that position.

Next, describe what you are currently doing and summarize some of your accomplishments that distinguish you from others.

Then, state that you are confident that you will exceed the needs of the company and help the company achieve its objectives. Then, invite the company to contact you at its convenience to schedule an interview.

Finally, thank the company for its time and consideration.
