Easy Template To Write Your Own Cover Letter
Author: Heather Eagar

The following cover letter sample gives an idea of what most
job hunters should do when composing these. It consists of only
a very few paragraphs, and is therefore short and easy to read.
The reason for this sample being short is simply because hiring
managers are extremely busy and will not read long letters. They
may glance at them, or skim them for statements that jump out at
them, but they probably will not have time to read them. Use
this sample when composing your own cover letters, and you'll
save time and get more interviews.

RE: Job Reference number (if one is available)

Dear Mr. Blank,

I'm writing to introduce myself in hopes of joining your
organization, and have enclosed a copy of my resume for your
review.

My background, skills and talents are in all aspects of
veterinary medicine, with a particular emphasis in embryo
collection and transplant. I also have strong skills in general
veterinary practice, management and business operations.

I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and
exchange ideas. I will call you over the next several days to
make an appointment. If you prefer, you may reach me at the
phone number or email address listed above.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to meeting with you
soon.

Sincerely,


John R. Doe, DVM

This sample was obviously for a veterinarian, but anyone in any
profession can use it and customize it to suit their own needs.
This is a traditional letter done in paragraph style. Another
option that is gaining in popularity is the bulleted letter. A
cover letter sample in the bulleted format follows.

Date

Manager
ABC Company
Street Address
City, state, zip code

RE: (reference position applied for)

Dear (ad name)


With over 20 years of experience as a military officer, I can
make an immediate contribution to your organization. Highlights
of my background include:

• Experienced as a pilot, flight instructor, security officer,
and operations officer in charge of millions of dollars in
government property and responsible for hundreds of personnel.

• Skilled in staff management, project management, security &
safety, executive management briefing, and leadership of highly
skilled technicians and professionals.

• Demonstrated ability to handle multiple tasks concurrently,
and lead by example. Utilize sound decision making judgement as
evidenced by increased levels of responsibility and professional
commendations.

I would like to discuss in greater detail the valuable
contributions I would make at your organization. I can be
reached at (555) 555-5555. Your time and consideration are most
appreciated.


Sincerely,


John Doe

Enclosure


This sample was for a retired military aviation officer, but
the basic format would stay the same for a teacher, CEO,
salesman, firefighter, accountant or almost any other
profession. There are two or three bulleted paragraphs that
repeat qualifications, accomplishments or other highlights from
the resume. The bulleted format makes them easy to see, and the
bold facing on key points draws the attention of the reader to
what the writer of the cover letter sample wants the reader to
see, and read. Use the sample above, or the first cover letter
sample, depending on your own needs, and customize them to your
profession.
