That’s a big FALSE. Cover letters, though a different animal than your resume, are far from a waste of your time. These few short paragraphs speak volumes to potential hiring managers about who you are and what you could bring to the table. The layout and series of word choices of a cover letter will either make or break you when it comes to interviewing potential.
So, if cover letters are still a big deal, how do you write the perfect one? Great question. And, just as there is an art to that of a seamless resume, there is also an art to creating a cover letter that is both colorful and professional. You must say enough without saying too much. You must highlight key points without reiterating your resume word for word. Your cover letter should pave the way for the resume, drawing in the reader’s interest in the job candidate.
If you are on the job search and failing to piece together a proper cover letter, then Platinum Resumes may be your only hope for landing that dream job. We will greet your lack of experience with expertise, and we will add a professional flavor to your job search efforts that will bring you ahead of the pack.
Many of our clients come to us in their time of desperation, bringing only a few rough drafts or old documents from years back. We will take your cover letter and resume efforts, get to know you and your skillset, and put our talent to work on your behalf. Call us today at 816.986.0909, and we would love the opportunity to write a cover letter that will get you into the door of the company of your dreams!
