Benefit of Cover Letter I remember a case when I sent my CV to the one big company. It was a company which assembles generators, reactors with steel tubes/pipes etc for use in Nuclear Plants. It was surprisingly for me that nobody answered. I called to the Human Resources Department and asked why they didn't invite me for the interview. The clerk explained that they received two thousand CV's and my number was 777. He conscientiously tried to read them but it wasn't possible due to their large number. I informed him that I'm a very suitable for this vacancy and eventually they invited me for the meeting. The purpose of Cover Letter is similar: to deliver CV to the employer. Obviously, it is very important do not recite your CV but to bring the attention of the person to exactly your CV. This is an example of formal introduction: I am writing to enquire if you have any vacancies in your company. I enclose my CV for your information. This is my suggestion the beginning of the letter with less formal phrases: I'm writing you to ask about possible vacancies in your company. My CV attached in this letter. It would be not a bad idea, to write the cover letter to yourself, incorporate in it the own hobbies (The Internet, technologies, Linux, foreign languages, etc) as an additional advantage.

Benefit of a Cover Letter

I remember a case when I sent my CV to a big company. It was a company which assembles generators, reactors with steel tubes/pipes, etc for use in Nuclear Plants. It was surprising to me that nobody answered. I called the Human Resources Department and asked why they didn't invite me for an interview. The clerk explained that they received 2000 CV's and mine was number 777. He conscientiously tried to read them but it wasn't possible due to the large amount received. I informed him that I'm a very suitable for this vacancy and eventually they invited me for a meeting.

The purpose of a Cover Letter is similar: to deliver your CV to the employer. Obviously, it is very important not to recite your CV but to get the attention of the person receiving your CV.

It would not be a bad idea, to write the cover letter about yourself and incorporate your hobbies (The Internet, technology, Linux, foreign languages, etc) as an additional advantage.

Hello!

Well written!

"a" is used when there is one so you can omit that.

When you write in numbers, stick to numbers all the time (and vice versa with numbers written out I.e 200 vs two hundred)

just make a note of the word "to": not used in past tense (I called my friend) unless you say (I made a call to my friend)

you "get attention" from someone

you "bring attention" to yourself/your cv

You can also say something like: Your cover letter helps you stand out from other applicants and allows you to motivate futher why you are a good fit for the company.

I remember a time when I sent my CV to a big company. It was a company which assembles generators, reactors with steel tubes/pipes, etc. for use in Nuclear Plants. It was surprising to me that nobody answered. I called the Human Resources Department and asked why they didn't invite me for an interview. The clerk explained that they received two thousand CV's and my number was 777. He really tried to read them all but it wasn't possible due to the large number received. I informed him that I'm very suitable for this position and eventually they invited me for the meeting.
