If you don’t you will come across as un-serious about the job and will likely not be considered. Your letter is an selling point for your resume. Sometimes a really good cover letter will get you hired immediately or get you an quick job interview. There is really no reason to not write a cover letter, but keep in mind that the cover letter should be well written. If it’s too long, contains errors, is boring or contains a lot of unimportant personal info you will lose the reader, and with that, your opportunity. If you are not sure how to start, I will give you a couple of tips to get you started.

The first quick tip you can use: Start the cover letter by specifying why you are sending it and address the person responsible for hiring.

The second quick tip you can use: Make your letter friendly for the eyes. If its a big block of dense text, no one will want to read it instead of the nice clean looking cover letter.

The third quick tip you can use: Make sure that you asked for a job interview in the cover letter. When you have done that make sure to call the employer about your resume and a potential job interview.

Good luck in your job hunt!
