The Most Powerful Cover Letter
An interesting statistic from a poll taken of recruiting and hiring managers stated that 75% of the people who review resumes said they read cover letters ONLY if they know the cover letter has been customized for the company and the position.
At RightChanges, we have two ALWAYS statements regarding the job search and one is to ALWAYS send a cover letter. Coach Judi Adams recommends one cover format over any other. The format we recommend is the T cover letter.
What is a T Cover Letter?
The T cover letter gets its name from the imaginary T that is formed by the two columns in the middle of the single page letter. The left column is the list of requirements as outlined by the hiring company and the second column is the qualifications you have that match the requirements. With this format you are visually showing the hiring manager why you are the perfect candidate. How powerful is that?
IMPORTANT OFFER:
The remaining portion of this article gives the steps to creating the T cover letter. Some job seekers however still struggle with creating it: how to select the requirements and qualifications to include or how to use Word to format it. RightChanges is offering a one-hour webinar on Friday September 12th on The Power Cover Letter. Space is limited and registration deadline is Friday September 5th. See details at the end of this article.
