#1 Thing You MUST Say In Your Cover Letter

If you want to guarantee an interview with a potential employer, you need to say THIS in your cover letter.

Your cover letter is an introduction to your resume and YOU as a candidate. It’s also most likely the first impression you make on an employer, so you want to make sure you say the right thing. A cover letter is a place for you to show your interest in the position and to make a personal connection between yourself and why you’re a great fit for the opportunity.

Your cover letter should make the employer want to learn more about you. The passion and interest you have for the company are important to convey, but if you really want to boost your chance at getting an interview there’s one thing you should include.

The number one thing you must say in your cover letter is to ask for an interview.

What? Yup, you have to ask for the interview yourself! It may seem blunt, but here’s how you can ask for it without feeling weird.

How To Find A Company You Want To Work For!

Have you fallen victim to a job search method that landed you at a company that wasn’t a good fit?

Unfortunately, this happens all the time to job seekers. They are in desperate need for a job, so they take whatever they can get. This means they don’t pay enough attention to what working at that company actually means.

If you are conducting a job search right now, you should have a list of companies that you want to work for. And if you are unsure about how to find a company you would want to work for, watch the video above.

Once you have a list of who you want to work for, you can optimize your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile for those companies.

If you would like some more advice about your job search or help with your resume, LinkedIn, or cover letter, head on over to Work It DAILY.
