Follow these instructions:
Paragraph 1: present and explain the aim of the cover letter.
Paragraph 2: why you are interested in the company that you are writing to, in this very industry and in this particular position.
Paragraph 3: what you contribute (achievements, experience); abilities and capacities that you will use to carry the position’s functions.
The order of paragraphs two and three can vary based on how you want to write the cover letter.
Paragraph 4: invitation to the interview. Be creative when finishing the letter; do not use the expression "I wait for your call". Mention that you can call to arrange an appointment or meeting, not an interview.
Warm goodbye, full name, email id, contact number and sign the letter.
-------------------------
Remember to make your cover letter eye-catching; you want the reader to be taken in, read on to your CV and give you an interview. You want to distinguish yourself from the rest! Bearing this in mind, think about your main strength for the post and highlight it from the beginning – don’t let your potential employer read through lots of irrelevant data and miss the good part! Your main strength will be something that isn’t in the requirements for the job – all the other candidates will have these so think outside the box, what else can you bring to the table? Maybe you have worked for a competitor and so can educate your (potential!) new company about the competition they face. Or maybe you have language skills and so can bring in business from abroad.
NOTE: Don’t make cover letter a simple introduction, the reader will have read many of these beforehand, make it interesting in its own right and you’re sure to win that interview!
