COVER LETTER THE MOST NEGLECTED YET MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A JOB APPLICATION!

 **COVER LETTER! THE MOST NEGLECTED YET MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A JOB APPLICATION**

*"A Great resume will get you not-rejected, a great cover letter will get you hired”* DHH, Founder of Bosecamp

A cover letter is a formal application letter, its a marketing tool used to showcase a unique combination of an applicant skills-set, knowledge and experience and how it matches the key requirements of a specific job description (cover letter is not generic).

Most applicant neglect cover letter and think a great resume will get the job done, this is not true! Please note, while a great resume/CV is a door to employment opportunities a well-written cover letter is a key 

A detailed cover letter (attachment or email body) is meant to introduce your resume to a prospective employer and why you are a more suitable candidate for the job with your resume being a VISIBLE EVIDENCE!

Most employers get many applications for every open job, and your cover letter and resume need to show that you've taken the time to write a compelling application material that shows your interest in working for the company in that role, a recruiter need not read more than two lines to know when a cover letter is generic.

A well-written cover letter should show a connection between your personality and professionalism as regard to the role you are applying for. 

Searching for a job is a job! The reward is the result

And I’m not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I’m funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes.
