Writing a job search cover letter on a
single page can be a challenge. There are so many items you may
consider including. But, there is one powerful and easy-to-read
technique for doing just that- put your best points in a bulleted
list! Like this?
During my five
years as Customer Service Manager at ABC Corporation in Any City, USA
I was responsible for:
Training new
representatives
Overseeing the
customer sales department
Handling
customer complaints
Updating our IT
Introducing new
service strategies
Therefore, I feel
qualified to bring my skills and experience to your organization and
would welcome an opportunity to meet you for an in-person interview.
I feel I'd be a great match to carry out the requirements you've
posted online.
Before writing your letter, jot down the things you want to include.
Then condense them into short, punchy statements and list them with
bullets. Your cover letter will rise to the top of the pile when you
communicate in this clear and concise way. A bulleted list can help
you stand out from the competition and land you more job interviews.
