Like a resume, the purpose of a cover letter is to grab the attention of prospective employers and to generate interest, desire and action for you from them. However, a cover letter is sent to a specific employer, whereas the same resume may be sent to numerous employers. Effective cover letters are very situation-specific. They are most effective when tailored to the way the job was advertised (or if it wasn’t), the format (paper or electronic), and to the individual or company receiving the letter. To create a cover letter for you, Career Connections will analyze your resume and meet with you in person or via telephone to determine your letter’s specific situation.
