Cover letters = foggy head Im trying to apply for a job. I've got to email a cover letter and cv to the company, my cv i have and is all good, the cover letter is hurting my head. This happens every time i try to write one. my head goes foggy, i get a head ache then i want to cry. i can start them off ok, saying that , Dear Sir or Madam I am writing regarding job reference SA/LO/19447, the 14 day administrator position advertised on... and i know that i have to put 'i am available for an interview at your convieneance and can be contacted by email at 'blablabla@ntlworld.com' or by fone at 07855000000. I hope to hear from you soon.' at the end, but what the hell comes in between...i have to sell mysef! the position requires: -Great communication skills, since you’ll be liaising with a number of other departments - The ability to understand the needs and priorities of both internal and external customers - A high level of accuracy, which is essential when dealing with the termination of customer accounts - a knowledge of Microsoft word and excell. I have all of these but i dont have to ability to put them into a letter! can ne1 help?!?!
Make each of those points into a paragraph and write about why you're perfect for the job.. experience, qualifications, skills, previous related jobs etc. It sounds like a nightmare but once you get started it's not bad.. do a spider diagram if it helps. Once you've got the basic frame of a letter it can be amended to apply to just about any job if you change the details you put in. Good luck!
