How to Use the Job Posting to Write the Perfect Cover Letter

By Peter Newfield | January 18, 2018 |

Do you know how to write the perfect cover letter? Maybe it’s not possible to actually write the perfect cover letter. However, the job posting and company culture can give you several clues on how to write a cover letter that will get noticed. If you are just starting your job search, or have been…

Hi Peter.
I’d love to have Donna’s snail mail address. I want to thank her in spades.
I’ve got the dream job! I’m the new hire at Broward County Red Cross, my title: Emergency Preparedness Manager, i.e., community liaison and public relations work to form partnerships that can be mobilized at a moment’s notice when disaster happens.
They said they were so impressed with my resume they called me literally within five minutes of receiving the electronic form. I had my first interview the following day, met and interviewed next with the CEO and was hired. I’m a happy woman.
Thank you again.

Hi Debra,
First, I truly thank you for showing me to “me”.
None of this is an exaggeration. It is all but fact minus many glorious details, but, for a modest man it is difficult to blow his own horn/trumpet.
Your choice of words was excellent and the layout is striking.
Please help me to incorporate the additions/changes to augment the impact of what you already created.
The cover letter & resume are as attachments here in.
I also would like for you to reduce the width/size of the cover letter to the same as that of the resume ( how do you put ‘ over the e’s in resume – ). Mostly this document is dispatched to Employers by e-mail and it would be cumbersome for them to read at a glance on a standard screen. May be you will be magnanimous to share with me the know how of this.
Lastly how to insert a hand written signature in to the cover letter, when most are to be e-mailed ?
Thanks! (again),
Serai K.

Jeanie,
You did a great job on my resume. I would like to engage you to develop a good cover letter for me. Please send me the required forms so that we can get this underway!
Thanks,
Steve J.
