A NEW kind of job search cover letter.

  As the old saying goes, "you never get a second chance to make a

  first impression!" Making a terrific first impression is often the

  deciding factor on whether or not an employer is willing to give you

  a chance at the job you're applying for.

  And this first impression is usually made with your resume cover

  letter.

  Understand this: There's a NEW kind of job search cover letter

  that's highly-effective at landing job interviews. And it's not

  really a cover letter at all...it's a SALES letter.

  Your cover letter is the one chance you have to "sell" yourself for

  the opportunity to be interviewed for the job. Your resume doesn't

  sell like a cover letter can.

  Here are seven excellent cover letter tips to help you land more job

  interviews:

 
1. Create three paragraphs on one page. First, state the job you
  want. Second, list your qualifications. And third, clearly and
  directly ASK for the opportunity to be interviewed for the job.
 
2. Limit each paragraph to three or four well-written sentences.
 
3. Leave generous margins so there's plenty of white space and be
  sure   to double space between paragraphs.
 
4. Help the reader see at a glance what you wish to say by using
  numbers or bullets.
 
5. Bold-face the first sentence of each paragraph to capture
  attention.
 
6. Read through to catch errors, then print it out for one final
  edit.
 
7. Remember, a one-page carefully-crafted cover letter has the best
  chance of hitting the "Bull's-Eye!"
