How to Write a Brief But Powerful and Standard Cover Letter

1:47:13 AM

Cover letter is always been a brief way to introduce and sell yourself (and your CV) to the recruiter. But finding a distinct and well written cover letter is not easy to come by as many job seekers either do not know how to write one or don't give the time they should to writing one.

How to Write a Brief But Powerful and Standard Cover Letter

Below are some tips on what to do and what to avoid in creating a captivating cover letter for any of your job applications.

Get Right Format
There is no single rigid way to write a cover letter but you generally would want to start your letter by stating the position or job you are trying to get including the name of the company, then a summary of your career and accomplishments relevant to the job in question and wrap up by suggesting you'll be willing to come for an invitation etc. The shorter the better for cover letters as many of the recuiters you'll be sending your letters to will be busy and working through hundreds and sometimes thousands of other people's letters as well.

Your Opening or Introdution
The opening of your cover letter (as is all other written work) must make a great impression on the reader. While you shouldn't exaggerate or write in empty flowing prose you should also avoid the various overused phrases such as, 'I'm thrilled to apply for so so position' etc. Try something more creative. If you have a contact person in the organisation or a mutual reference known to both you and the employer you could state that in your opening. eg "John Opeyemi recommended I get in touch about the sales manager job at XYZ Logistics Ltd" or something along that line. If there's no such mutual reference you could think of the best way to start your letter that is unique, something along the lines of "One reason I want to work for you is I always remember something my father told me" and so on. Hope you get the drift; tell a short story or slightly humorous prose.

If you can't come up with something genuinely refreshing stick to a brief opener stating your desire to take up the stated position with the employer.

View Samples

I am writing in response to the opening for xxxx, which I believe may report to you.
I can offer you seven years of experience managing communications for top-tier xxxx firms, excellent project-management skills, and a great eye for detail, all of which should make me an ideal candidate for this opening.
I have attached my résumé for your review and would welcome the chance to speak with you sometime."

For Applications where there is a mutual reference;

Rachel Musa suggested I get in touch with you.

I am a seasoned financial services marketer at SanguineBank with a strong packaged goods background and extensive experience in product development and merchandising, branch management, electronic banking, and innovative distribution planning.

I created the Sanguine Bank Investment Portfolio, the bank's first complete presentation of its retail savings and investment products, and developed successful ways to sell the SanguineDip account in the retail setting.

As an Area Director in the New York retail bank, I doubled branch balances in mid-Manhattan in only three years.
Most recently, I have been developing a set of PC-based fund-transfer products for SanguineBank's Financial Institutions FISI -2.52% Group.

Prior to SanguineBank, I rebuilt the baby shampoo division for Johnson & Johnson and managed all bar-soap marketing at Lever Brothers.

A résumé is enclosed for additional background.

I am seeking to move to a new assignment that would take full advantage of my consumer financial services marketing experience, and am extending my search outside of SanguineBank as well as inside. Rachel thought it would be worthwhile for us to meet briefly. I'll call in a few days to set up a mutually convenient time for us to meet.
I'm looking forward to meeting with you.

5 Tips on How to Write, a Better Fresh Graduate Resume / CV

1:35:40 AM

Writing the resume and cover letter is one step in what can be an overwhelming job search process, but it creates the first impression that will lead you to your desired position. A poorly written resume will only find its place in the trash; a well-written resume can land you an interview, and then, a job.

Applying for any job with little or no work experience require adaptability and meticulous preparation on your part. How well you prepare and how adaptable you are, will always reflect on your resume.

As a fresh graduate without work experience, you have a challenge writing a resume, when you have nothing but education to work with. What you need is dedicated job research and customizing each resume for a chance at producing a persuasive marketing tool.

No matter how qualified and confident you may be for a job, it is your resume that first introduce you to your potential employer; hence, the need to give your fresh graduate resume some serious work before putting it out.

5 Tips on How to Write, a Better Fresh Graduate Resume / CV

If you are a fresh graduate without work experience, here are tips to show you resume boosters and samples of fresh graduate resume to help you create a unique fresh graduate resume.

1. Your First Step

Your first step is to open your word document (or a plain sheet of paper) and write a multiple-page template resume that includes familiar requirements for your target career field. Your resume format is your multi-purpose resume, containing any and every specific and general information about you, which you can tweak to suit every job you apply to; and should reflect your qualifications in your target field(s).
You will customize your follow-up resume to reply to specific job positions. Take care to match requirements with your qualifications in your opening skills summary and throughout your resume.

2. Tweak your Fresh Graduate resume for every Job Application
I've said that before but need to reemphasize; one complete resume cannot match every job you want to apply. A valuable skill for one job position may be a disadvantage for another. For instance, if you are good at sitting at a computer for 15 hours a day; that may be a good for a programming job but a resume killer for a marketing job. Ensure to customise your CV/resume for every job application. Research the company you are applying to, and work your resume as best as you can to fit into the companies need.

3. Evaluate Your School Experience
Don't overlook little events that shows experience in accepting responsibility and demonstrate reliability. Consider the following factors to identify the experience and skills you garnered in higher institution and match your information with the job you hope to land:
Work: Internships, summer jobs, part-time jobs, campus jobs, entrepreneurial jobs, temporary work, and volunteer work.
Sports: Proven ability to achieve goals in a team environment.
Awards and honors
Research papers and projects
Campus leadership
Grade Point Average (GPA): If it's 3.0 or above; otherwise, omit it (some advisers set the GPA floor at 3.5).
Technical skills and software facility
Concerning student jobs, one technique to make the most of your experience is to separate your jobs into fragments and explain them. For example, don't say that your job title was "office help" or "office clerk" and stop there.
Instead, do this:
a. Divide your job into functions. Some examples:
telephone reception, telephone sales, social media sales, contract negotiations, purchasing, inventory, staff training, computer application training, Web design, public speaking, and written communications.
b. Describe each function in terms of your accomplishments and their outcomes.

4. Make Your Aim Clear
If you use an objective statement, make it clear. Don't use illogical statements, like this one:
Seeking a challenging position that will allow me to actualize my talents in saving the world, with good potential for professional growth and pay commensurate with my ability.
Instead, cut to the chase, like this:
Research position in product marketing field in Abuja
You can add a summary, too.

5. Get Rid of Unsupportive Information
Don't fatten your portfolio with irrelevant data or pictures. Include an activity only if it reveals skills, competencies, accomplishments, results, or other qualification to support your intended job.
If an exhaustive search of your hobbies, campus activities, or community service turns up absolutely nothing worth putting on your resume, your education must carry the entire weight of candidacy for employment.

Top 10 CV Mistakes Graduates Make and Ways To Avoid Them

1:27:29 AM

We have questioned graduate employers about their top reasons for rejecting graduate CVs and these are the results. Commit any of these top ten CV sins at your peril!

1.) Applying for the wrong job position
Surprisingly, sending a CV tailored to a completely different role is a fairly common occurrence, but definitely not advisable if you want to be considered for the job.

2.) Spelling and grammar blonder
With the abundance of spell-checking software available there is no excuse to send a CV with any spelling or grammar mistakes, all that this demonstrates to an employer is a lack of attention to detail.

3.) Lack of research into the role
Although sending a generic CV can be very tempting, it pays to spend time applying your CV to each role. Employers often perceive a generic or untargeted CV as an indication that you aren't really bothered about the job.

4.) Complicated layouts
Graduate employers often have many CVs to look through for each role, they don't have time to waste trying to navigate a complicated CV layout. The simpler you make your layout, the easier you make their job, so they are much more likely to focus on the content of your CV.

5.) Formatting errors
Over-complicated formatting, errors and inconsistencies in the formatting of your CV are really off-putting to employers, and again show a lack of attention to detail.

6.) Lacking evidence
Including your skills is a good way to demonstrate how you may fit into a role as a graduate. Employers are looking for proof that you have these skills, and the best way to do this is to demonstrate these using your employment, education and interests as evidence.

7.) Not spending enough time on your CV
Graduate employers have lots of experience of assessing CVs, and they will be able to tell exactly how much time and effort you have put into your CV, so make sure your first impression shows your dedication.

8.) CV being too long or short
As a graduate, your CV should be 2 pages long (for an internship it can be one or two pages). A CV longer than this is likely to include irrelevant information and remain unread, shorter than this and it won't include enough information.

9.) The relevance of information
Padding out your CV with extra information, or missing out something vital will stand out to employers. Make sure that your CV contains only relevant information for the role you are applying for.

10. ) Being unable to open the CV
It sounds silly, but if an employer can't open your CV they are unlikely to have the time to chase you for one they can open. Make sure you put your CV in a common format, such as a compatible version of word or a PDF.

Why 90% of Job Seekers Never Get Invited For An Interview

1:20:38 AM

You submitted countless application to various companies but was yet to be invited to a lone job interview. Well you don't need to worry all you need is to get somethings right.

Obviously, this is a wide spread problem facing job seekers. The volume of job applications coming to the in-box or desk of the average recruiting firm is so much that most of them have devised means of sieving and flushing out 90% of these applications thus leaving them with a few applications to consider.

Based on research and experience we have distilled a list of reasons that make recruiting companies select a few CVs and reject others. Note that getting a job interview is tied to your CV and Cover Letter. These two serve as your representative and if you have always failed to get called for interviews the problem then lies first and foremost in your CV.

Why 90% of Job Seekers Never Get Invited For An Interview

So quickly we have listed short points below on reasons why your application is being ignored;

1.) You Submit Applications With No Cover Letter
This is a regular occurrence we have noticed with job seekers. Even experienced career individuals make the same mistake over and over. If an employer checks the email for applications he expects, on opening your application, to see at least a brief introductory letter stating who you are and why you are applying. This helps him decide whether to go ahead and check your CV. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

2.) Your CV Has No Power and Standard
Weak CVs are CVs that do not highlight the strong points of the applicants in less than 30 seconds. Most recruiters do not have all the time to check through your entire CV. They glance through and expect to see a couple of highlights that will make them consider reading through the CV and then deciding if to shortlist the applicant. Your CV has to make it easier for the employer to glance through without looking for an eye glass. This means the arrangement must be professional with clear readable fonts.

2.) You Are Not Aware of the High Points a Recruiter Is Looking For.
A Recruiter will gaze at your individual data and proceed directly to gaze for your vocation summary where you are anticipated to conceive a short interpretation of what you have carried out so far in your vocation. This is especially significant if you are an skilled vocation individual with at least 5 years former experience. For other ones the recruiter examines at your vocation objectives section to have an idea of your ambition. While all these are significant other significant focus areas are the learning, Work Experience, abilities part and Professional/Certification part. Getting your CV well in writing particularly in these parts signify that even if the recruiter glances through your CV for only 30 seconds he is expected to shortlist your CV for farther reading and likely invitation to interviews.

4.) Did You Tailor the CV to that Particular Job?
Numerous people just download and attach the identical CV to all job submissions they make. You stand a better possibility if you gaze carefully at the job obligations of that specific job and make changes in your CV to make it targeted at that job. Adjustments don't signify padding the CV or supplementing untrue data but looking for data, skills, know-how etc. that you have that may be helpful in that particular job and supplementing them. It also means eliminating data in the CV that is ineffective for that specific job. Make the recruiter know that you arranged the CV just for that job by conceiving a CV that tries to target the job as much as possible. Copied from: www.hotnigerianjobs.com

Recall your Cover note and CV are your representatives in absentia. They notify your story to the recruiter or employer and they have very limited time to influence, so your work is to make them notify convincing tales. When they do, getting called to interviews will become a foregone issue.
