What is Covering Letter?
Covering
letter includes any such additional information which is not clear from the
resume and at the same time you are supposed to narrate your skills, abilities,
core competencies in a nut shell.
Why Covering
Letter?
It’s
a simple check on your effective writing - employer wants to check your
grammar, spelling, sentence arrangements and flow of thought etc.
It is a supporting letter to persuade your employers to read your attached resume which includes completely different information which is not in your resume and at the same time tells the advertiser why you are applying / or where you discovered the job opening / or which job you are applying for etc.
It has three parts:
1. Introductory Paragraph: Your qualification
2. Main Body : Your past performance & testimonials
3. Concluding Paragraph : Motivate the employer i.e. grant you an interview
Warning!!
Do
not attach and include your covering letter with the resume when sending
mails;always remember you are supposed to write covering letter on the body of
the email space provided by Google / Yahoo / Rediffmail etc. when you click on
“Compose”.
