American Cover Letter

 

An American cover letter is an integral part of your job applications. It should refer to your present and future plans, showing your prospective employers what you want to do now and what you will do for them in the future.

Often the American cover letter is more important or convincing to employers then the accompanying resume because they refer mainly to the past time with exception of your present job.

Recruiters and employers are interested mostly in the future of companies and organizations they represent.

The American cover letter should be typed in a short and professional style using power words and action verbs.

Stay away from use of anonymous addresses such as ‘Dear Sir/Madam’ or ‘To whom it may concern’. Take the time to research each employer's organization and personalize each letter with a real person’s name. Such personalization would increase retention of your job application.

Because many companies request stating your last salary in an application, is not unusual to mention in your cover letter what salary you are expecting.

Again, mention your contact telephone number in the last paragraph of your job cover letter.
