Constructing an Unbeatable Cover Letter: Body Paragraphs

I'm cat Miller and this is Dice TV the body of your cover letter is where you prove you can do the job to do this you need to point out specific examples of relevant skills or achievements this is

your chance to connect the dots and clearly show how your skills align with the job so the manager doesn't have to do any guess work for example don't just say you let a migration to Windows XP

say something like as the lead systems administrator for ABC company I led the migration from Windows 997 to Windows XP for 160 desktops by working closely with

staff and communicating project goals and work plans I completed the migration 3 weeks ahead of schedule in addition my experience in networking and Technical Support has allowed me to train

departments to become highly cross functional resulting in Greater it efficiency for my employers I'm now interested in making similar contributions to benefit XYZ Corporation

bear in mind what one letter isn't going to work for multiple employers even if the positions are similar you have to tailor your examples to each position you apply to while that sounds like a

lot of work it doesn't have to be too extreme just come up with a few extra examples and you can easily swap them around remember screeners look for reasons to eliminate candidates so if a

little extra effort makes the connection between your qualifications and the job description more obvious it's worth doing I'm cat Miller and this is Dice TV
