Recommendation

Do you know how to create a dynamite cover letter to accompany your résumé, a letter that will grab a potential employer’s attention? If not, don’t worry: You can appropriate one of the great cover letters in this popular book by Martin Yate and adapt it as your own. That’s why he compiled them. Yate collected more than 4,000 excellent cover letters from human resource professionals and headhunters, and handpicked the cream of the crop for this volume. Just find the letter that suits you, and make it suitable for your job search. In addition to scores of excellent cover letters, Yate also provides numerous “power phrases” that you can put to work. getAbstract recommends this valuable how-to manual to job hunters in any field.

Take-Aways

  • Many job seekers find it difficult to sell their skills and experience in a cover letter.
  • However, if you don’t include a strong cover letter, a prospective employer may not differentiate your résumé from others.
  • As your initial communication to a prospective employer, a cover letter shapes the recipient’s first impression of you. Make it a good one.
