Do you write employment cover letters?
Cover letters should be customized to each job.
Job seekers often spend too much time on their resumes and not enough on their cover letters. Your resume is about brevity, clarity, and formatting, in other words, the demands are technical. The demands of a cover letter are more subtle and comprehensive; sometimes even a good example isn’t enough information.
Applying for jobs is extremely stressful. Everyone who has done it can tell you horror stories of checking over a cover letter for hours and not seeing a mistake until the minute after they hit send or drop off the letter. Emotions and stress aren’t compatible with creating the kind of detail required in a cover letter.
In addition to the difficulty of finding your own errors under stress, there are a few other mistakes that are common to cover letters:
While people are more likely to make the mistake of being too personal and emotional, it’s important not to sound like a robot. Furthermore, it is often necessary to use an employment cover letter to explain things like periods of unemployment, lack of experience, or several job changes in a short period of time, and it all gets very dicey. It’s as easy to sound defensive as it is to sound arrogant. Neither one is good.

There is a hierarchy in every college and university, and you should be wary of anyone who claims otherwise. You will often hear certain majors, academic departments, groups of staff, etc., routinely spoken of in derisive terms. If you are studying business, you may find that you hear the arts or literature always mentioned as if the joke were obvious, and you might also complain about the sciences doing the same to you.
Take advantage of office hours when you have question and not just after you receive a grade that you don’t like. Look up your professors, online and in library databases, to find out what they have written and published, if it interests or impresses you, let them know.

Cover letters may be the last frontier of landing your dream job. You’ve accrued experience related to the job. You meet-or maybe even exceed-their requirements and your resume makes a strong case for your hire. In today’s electronic age, is a cover letter really necessary? YES!

Many argue that this essential ability is being lost in the world of technology, texting and social networking. Our aptitude to dialogue face-to-face is being replaced by online communications which are less personal, void of emotive engagement and without any of the artful skills employed by body language and inflection. Traditionally these skills were honed in day to day interactions, around the dinner table, during classroom presentations and via debates.
Wake up some days and wonder why the heck you do it? Years and years of study for a degree and your not sure if it’s worth it – well it is!
