Are you using this important and powerful job search document or sending in your resume naked?
Many wonder whether a cover letter, also known as a letter of intent or interest, is essential when applying for a position. The answer is resoundingly YES.
A first impression of someone is typically formed within 4-8 seconds. Even scarier is the concept that it’s doubtful to change once a first impression is formed. Suppose the recruiting manager opens your application and discovers you haven’t included a cover letter. In that case, your application may end up in the “not to be interviewed pile” because of the message it sends, which is, that you couldn’t be bothered. And the same is true of an unorganized or poorly written cover letter.
A professionally written cover letter can make all the difference in whether you receive an interview. A strong cover letter gives the reader a snapshot of your personality and professional strengths and makes them want to move on and read your resume. Cover letters developed by Cando Career Coaching and Resume Writing showcase your strengths, personality, and value. It will be well-written to highlight your effective communication and writing abilities and will work as a nice compliment to your resume.
