Here's a versatile way to write a decent and informative cover letter in 6 steps, so that HR can ask you out without looking at your resume!
Step 1: The title part explains the name, applied position and personal advantages.
Whether the mail can be opened at the first time depends mainly on the title. Therefore, the title of the cover letter should attract the attention of HR.
Generally speaking, a complete title should explain the name, the position you are applying for and the personal advantages that match the position. Personal advantages can be tapped from internship experience, skills, and even universities and majors.
For example, Wang Xiaoxiao applied for a new media operation specialist (one year's operation experience of WeChat official account); Li Jiajia applied for marketing specialist (6 months internship experience in 4A company); Jiang Rurui applied for the position of Finance Commissioner (accounting major of Central University of Finance and Economics), and so on.
Step 2: The title should be complete, indicating the name of the applicant and the title of the recruiter.
The title can be written as follows: "Dear Manager/Supervisor of Human Resources Department of XX Company, or Dear Mr./Ms. XX of XX Company".
Many job seekers may think that it doesn't matter whether the title is written or not, but it is not. The email of business communication should be standardized and complete, and the title is essential. Writing a clear title in the email will make HR feel that the job seeker is very professional and standardized.
Step 3: Introduce yourself in one sentence in the quotation part, and make clear the position you are applying for.
Quotations should be simple and clear, come straight to the point, and briefly introduce your university, major, graduation time, work experience, internship experience, etc. In a word, and specify the position you are applying for.
Step 4: state your work experience and professional skills in the article, explain your qualifications according to the recruitment requirements, and prove that you are competent.
In the body part, the applicant should briefly state your work experience, professional skills and qualifications.
Explain your qualifications according to the recruitment requirements, state that the position meets your job-hunting objectives, and prove that you are suitable for this position with facts or data, indicating that you are willing and capable of doing this job well.
Step 5: Conclusion Reaffirm that you are a suitable candidate, strive for interview opportunities, and leave personal contact information.
Finally, reiterate your interest in this position and show that you are a very suitable candidate for HR interview.
At the same time, leave your phone number and other contact information so that HR can contact you.
In addition, you can also attach a greeting, such as "Shun Song Shang Qi".
Step 6: Sign and date.
Finally, send three tips for sending cover letters for your reference:
Tip 1: change the sender's email nickname to his own name.
After the job seeker determines the email address for submitting his resume, he must set the sender's nickname as the name of the job seeker, and do not display the screen name or some default alphanumeric characters.
I once received a resume from a job seeker using QQ email, and the email name was displayed as QQ name "Xiao Shuai" or "A sad person", which made people laugh and cry.
Tip2: the cover letter should be short, and the whole content should be made clear in a few sentences.
A cover letter should be focused, a long speech should not be focused, and no one likes to read it. So job seekers should pay attention to refining the text.
Tip3: Reject empty talk with slogans.
Don't use slogan words in the cover letter, such as "Give me a fulcrum and I will shake the earth" and "I am not the best, but I must be the most suitable", which is unprovable and will make HR feel ridiculous.
What really touches HR is not these empty words, but your real experience, skills, abilities and qualities between the lines.
