A winning Cover Letter

A winning Cover Letter

This probably looks to you as straight forward topic to you but be sure there are people who still get the cover letter wrong at this age. Today, we will concentrate on giving you tips and components of a good cover letter. Just as a point of note, there are so many questions surrounding the sending your CV and cover letter through email.  Job seekers are concerned whether to send an emails’ body as the cover letter or attach it as an attachment. Please do both for the sake of the employer because they may want to print the cover letter for records and thus in this case they will prefer an attachment and because you want to express your need in an organized manner once someone opens your email, have it also as the body of the e-mail.

There should be basic components of a cover letter which if a human resource executive looks at, he will immediately see you through it.
-  It should be clear and explanatory with a lot of precision.
-  The font should be the same as that on the CV. If you have two different fonts it shows a little bit of clumsiness.
