No one enjoys writing a cover letter and hiring managers don’t enjoy reading poorly written cover letters.
So, how about we take the pain out of cover letters for everyone – you, the military veteran who is seeking civilian employment and for the people who will read your cover letter.
Read on to learn about the top cover letter writing tips we want you to follow. It’s also important you highlight your military career in your cover letter, so we’ve included advice on how you can best do this.
What Is A Cover Letter?
A cover letter is your chance to do bridge the gaps between your resume and you, the person. While your resume includes the facts on your career goals, education, employment history, and volunteer experience – your cover letter is your chance to introduce yourself.
It’s in your cover letter that hiring managers look for the reasons why they should interview you and consider hiring you. You want to use your cover letter as a way to stand out from the pile of resumes that include similar skills and experience.
Just as we want you to write a unique resume for every job you apply for, you must do the same with your cover letter. When writing your cover letter, think about what you want to tell the hiring manager about yourself.
Imagine you have just a couple of minutes to introduce yourself and tell this person why you would be an ideal fit for the role and company. Remember to let your personality shine through and to be yourself.
