When applying for a job and sending of your resume, a well-written cover letter can make the difference between success and failure. Think of the covering letter as thing that will open the door and allow your resume to make it to the top of the pile.

I’ve often said it’s no good being the best person for the job if you resume ends up in the trash.

Below I have written some examples of covering letters for you to use as writing examples. They should always follow the same format, be brief and to the point. There is no need to include too much detail that is what the resume is for.

Cover Letter Example 1:

Dear Mr. Jones:

Recently, I completed a cooperative experience with an engineering firm in Northern California where I was given the responsibility of managing a small project. I am looking for the opportunity to perform in this capacity for Ganco Engineering. I believe my background and experience will help me be an asset to your company in a very short time.

I have conducted survey and mapping assignments, participated in soil mechanics and foundation formation, and performed preliminary structural analysis and design for a grocery store. I was given the responsibility of producing a general layout for a new transportation system. I first surveyed the area, produced a traffic analysis and survey, researched city rules and regulations for compliance, and wrote a twenty-five page report depicting the feasibility of building a new freeway off-ramp. My mathematical skills are excellent and I am very conscientious about meeting deadlines and completing tasks unsupervised. If given the opportunity to accomplish an assignment, I can develop a plan that will meet the needs of the project.

I am very interested in becoming a part of this project after reading your company brochure and an article in the Civil Engineering Journal about your company’s involvement in building a new mall in the area. I can be reached at the address and phone number below. I’ll be calling your office within ten days to inquire on the status of my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

You will see the covering letter is sharply written, concise and to the point. It shows the prospective employer that you have taken the time to research the position and put forward your skills and contributions.

Cover Letter Example 2:

Dear Ms. Bolo:

Being able to teach individuals and groups about effective health practices and procedures has been my goal since beginning my college career. To ensure that I acquired the skills and knowledge necessary to become a health educator, I have volunteered to work in numerous agencies, putting my academic theory and principles into practice.

I am equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team and am highly motivated to provide an excellent product on time and under budget. I have extensive experience with the needs of diverse clientele and can communicate in Spanish although I am not completely fluent. Other skills I can bring to your organization include:

• Knowledge of health disorders and their prevention.

• Knowledge of counseling and teaching principles.

• Ability to serve as a liaison and referral specialist between clients and supportive agencies.

• Understanding of health rules and regulations.

For more detailed information please refer to my enclosed resume. I would appreciate a personal interview at your earliest convenience. I am eager to further discuss my qualifications and view your facility.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

This cover letter uses bullet points to highlight key skills and attributes and again is direct and to the point.

Using these cover letter examples to help you, you should be able to go away and create an award winning cover letter yourself.
