Wondering what to be included in the cover letter for resume? Here is what I can tell you from my side about it. A cover letter basically includes of the following sections:
1]Your contact information:
Your contact details including your name, address, e-mail id and contact number.
Note: If you sending the job application via e-mail, include your contact details in signature.
2]Employer's Address:
If you know the employer or the HR you are sending the job application to, then include this section. If you do not know the details, do not even give it a try by mentioning wrong details. Mention the designation of the person and name of the company.
3]Salutation:
Greet the person by his name if you know; that creates a good impression. Use words like “respected”, “dear”: dear Hiring Manager or Respected Mr. Jones.
4]Cover Letter Body:
a]First Paragraph: Tell the employer who you are, your details and why are you writing the letter.
b]Second Paragraph: Give details about how your skills and abilities match the job position's and company's requirements. Prove how you are the perfect candidate the company is looking for.
c]Third Paragraph: Thank the employer. Ask for interview. Give details about how he can contact you.
5]Enclosures:
If you have attached or enclosed documents with the cover letter like resume, CV, experience certificate, etc, then mention that asking the reader to take a look.
