some tips which follow in making cover letters of resumes
* Do not write a long and aimless cover letter for jobs. It is likely that you may have many qualifications that make you stand out, but you should only involve those that can add value to the job you are applying for. Select 2-3 of your top, relevant work experiences or qualifications and feature them in an attention arresting way.
* Get a second opinion. Always have someone to proof read your cover letter before you hand it to a potential employer. Take in constructive criticism and amend your letter accordingly. It is not uncommon to overlook mistakes, and spelling and grammar check is never fully reliable.
* Again, do not use a one-size-fits-all cover letter. Create your letter from scratch, and ensure that it is customised for the company and position you are applying to.
* If your cover letter is full of grammatical and spelling mistakes as well as incoherent messages, it will most likely end up in the paper basket. Put in effort to ensure that your letter is well structured, free of errors and flows from one point to another. Essentially, make it easy and nice to read.
