Cover letter is a tool for candidates to connect and express their desire to cooperate in the position applied for. Write your cover letter in a relaxed, approachable yet respectful manner.
The first question when writing a cover letter “The employer has a lot of choices among candidates, why are you the chosen one and not someone else”
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CV AND COVER LETTER
Cover Letter is as important as CV, sometimes even more important. Because that’s what employers will read first before reading your CV. Recruiters will only spend about 30 seconds to skim through your Cover Letter, so it must be written concisely and concisely and still leave an impression on employers about it, so that they can continue reading your CV. problem.
If…
CV (Curriculum Vitae) means a summary of yourself sent to the employer.
Employers can easily capture personal information about candidates including: Contact information, Career goals, Skills, Education, Work experience, Certificates, Awards, …
Then …
Cover letter is understood as a cover letter or a job application or an application letter.
Cover letter is focused on demonstrating to the employer that “Why you should be the candidate selected for the interview round”
So, which CV and Cover letter should you choose to send?
I choose both for the following reasons:
Impress HR with an open letter to talk closely, proving you are really serious about the job
You are different from 80% of other candidates because of your professional style
Make an emotional connection during the HR interview
WHERE TO WRITE COVER LETTER?
These are some of the things I usually do to write a Cover Letter when I decide to apply for a job! The rate where my CV round revealed is 85%!
1. LEARN INFORMATION
Before writing a Cover Letter, I usually take the time to learn about the company and the position I applied for first. The first is to read the Job Description carefully, look closely at the skills they need, then choose which of the skills you feel are the best and most relevant to write on your CV.
In addition, I often find out if the company is having any problems, crises, or what projects they are doing well, so that I can cleverly give a little when writing Cover Letter. This information can be easily found if you go to Google, the company’s social platforms or through networking, ..
Remember to write what the consumer wants to read, know a little or a little bit about the company’s activities, it will definitely get more points than those of you who just say I’m good at this, I’m good at that, hire me hire me, right?
2. FIND OUT SENDER NAME
Please temporarily forget how to write Dear Mr or Ms, Dear whom it may concern, when you do not know the name of your employer? The key form of a cover letter is intimacy and the expression of attitude and desire to cooperate, who can write in general and use clichés like “Dear…”
Why?
This sentence should only be used in special cases where you can’t find the name of the Hr, but if everyone writes like that, you won’t make much of an impression. Cover Letter is a letter, and a letter must have a sender and receiver, right?
So in my personal experience, when I read a job description without the name of the recipient, I usually:
Call the company directly to ask, just ask for the name, there is no secret information, so they will definitely tell you. But it’s okay if you don’t know the name
Go to Stalk on facebook, linkedin,… By the way, you can find a little company culture to see if it’s right for you before deciding to apply!
3. SO WHAT SHOULD BE IN A COVER LETTER?
Cover letters are personalized and depending on the environment you are applying to, it is a digital or traditional bank, an educational institution or a creative agency. Depending on the industry that needs to be creative or serious, adjust the style accordingly. In general, there will be a basic format that is often used:
Sender information. (Your name, address, phone number, email, etc.)
Recipient information (Recipient’s name, work location, email, company, etc.)
Dear [Name] (Dear [Name])
INTRODUCTION PART.
The opening paragraph is often quite important, as the reader will often remember (impression) the first and last details. The opening paragraph usually has 2-3 sentences, stating why you know this job, and within 1-2 sentences why you are interested in this job or why you think you are the right person. unify.
SECOND SECTION.
Prove what you said above, why you are the best fit.
But, don’t be too wordy ^^
I encourage you to focus on 2-3 main skills that are most relevant to the job you are applying for, but talk carefully about how you used your speaking skills in which situations, what solutions did you come up with, and the results. and how you will apply that skill to the job you are applying for.
SECTION 3
In this paragraph, talk about what you can do for the company. Remember what you can do for the company. Can briefly talk about your career goals, if it is work related. Don’t apply for the position of Marketing, but say that my goal in 5 years is to be a CFO
