Cover Letter Sample Template

Just posted again is the cover letter sample template, with some revisions. With the economy the way it is, a lot of people are looking for jobs. Cover letters are an important part of the application process, even when applying by email. Each job that you apply for should have a unique cover letter. Here's a template of what should be included in a cover letter. Feel free to hand it out to anyone who needs it.

Cover Letter Help

Lately it seems that I have been revising a lot of resumes and cover letters for my friends. It makes sense, because I live in Michigan where everyone is either unemployed or underemployed. I found that I was explaining how to write a cover letter more often that not, so I put together a few really great sites with examples of different types of cover letters. Also, I have a little sheet here that shows how I write cover letters. If you click on it you can see it in detail and print it out.

Since most cover letters are going to be cover emails now a days, I have found some sites that are a little more up to date than other sites. Remember that if you email in your resume to a job, you should treat that email just as you would a physical cover letter.
