Learn how to write an amazing cover letter

Dear Job-Seeker:

It's a fact. A well written cover letter can land you many more job interview requests. BUT, a truly "amazing" cover letter is not a cover letter at all…it's a SALES letter.

7 Quick and Easy Steps to Cover Letter SUCCESS

1.Put three paragraphs on one page. Number 1: State the job you want. Number 2: List your qualifications. Number 3: ASK for the job interview clearly and directly. Ask and you shall receive.
2.Write only three or four sentences in each paragraph.
3.Create generous margins, leaving plenty of white space. Be sure to double space between paragraphs. Use numbers or bullets to make the letter easy to read.
4.Capture the reader's attention by putting the first sentence of each paragraph in bold face.
6.Read your letter carefully to catch errors, then print it out for one final edit.
7.Keep your cover letter to ONE PAGE, no exceptions.

Picture the employer opening your cover letter––and finding a friendly, well-written page that contains only what is necessary to evaluate you for the job. Make it easy for the employer to say "yes."

There you have it! SEVEN SIMPLE STEPS to an amazing cover letter that will inspire any employer to read yours from the first word to the last, and then reach for the phone and offer you an interview that could lead to the job of your dreams.
