I.T Cover Letter

Technique #3

Keep it ‘short and sweet’ or kiss your chances goodbye

One of the best secrets for getting your IT cover letter noticed and read is to keep it brief!

There are few cover letter mistakes greater than that of the ‘long-winded’ cover letter.

SEVEN Layout Secrets of a Highly Effective Cover Letter:

1. One page max. Two-page cover letters are the kiss of job-search death!

2. Let your cover letter ‘breathe.’ The more white space the better.

3. Three paragraphs max. More than this and it appears to be a ‘tough read.’

4. Use bullet points and numbered lists when appropriate. This allows for easy scanning.

5. Start the first sentence of each paragraph with bold-faced type. It highlights the start of each paragraph inviting the person to read further.
Works beautifully.

6. Paragraphs should contain no more than four to five sentences each, but I highly recommend just three well-written sentences per paragraph.

7. After you’ve finished your letter, print it out to see that it’s easy on the eyes and ‘invites’ you to read more. Remember: Less is more!

Use these SEVEN secrets to create your own highly effective IT cover letter and I guarantee you’ll avoid the ‘recycle bin,’ and land more quality job interviews next month than your long-winded competitors will land all year.

Hey look at that, I’ve kept this short and sweet! :)
