The Role of Cover Letters in Your Job Application – And How Using a Sample Cover Letter Can Help

Posted on 29. Dec, 2008 posted by Bill in Cover Letters

Cover letters may just be an additional requirement in an application but often times, it becomes the sole reason for the acceptance or the rejection of an applicant. In cases where an employer receives hundreds of applications regularly, checking and assessing each and every application becomes extremely troublesome. It requires an enormous amount of time and he just does not have that luxury. So, in an attempt to shorten the screening time, he will resort to consider the quality of the cover letter as the criteria for the first screening.

When this happens, the cover letter becomes a very important instrument in your application. It could either convince the employer to go on reading your resume or prompt him to just discard your application.

If you are at a loss in the proper ways of writing a cover letter that is convincing enough to persuade your future employer to consider your resume, there are many writing service providers that are willing to help you. Various websites on the Internet are dedicated to this kind of business. They offer sample cover letters for free or sometimes write your cover letters for you for a fee. The sample cover letters they include in their websites are often enough but if you still need further instructions in writing a cover letter, you may search for different techniques and strategies that focus on cover letter writing. Combine these techniques and the sample cover letters you have found and you will then be able to write your own cover letter and get that job.

    I don’t know of any recruiter or hiring manager that subscribes to this line of thinking. Are any stats? Sure candidates could improve their resume/cv-writing skills, but for hiring managers or recruiters who base their selection decisions on a cover letters are,in the least, lazy.
