DO COVER LETTERS REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A JOB?

DO COVER LETTERS REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A JOB?

When we are in a market, as we are at present, where competition for top spots is tight and jobs are less plentiful, a bio or cover letter interpreting your credentials for the reader is imperative. A cover letter identifies why you believe you are a strong contender. A recruiter wants to be able to see your linkages – keywords (role, industry, corporate, customer/product or government identification) - to the role and the value or benefits you are likely to bring.


A recruiter wants to be able to witness your written influencing skills and the qualifications and achievements that back up your claims. To bring the reader in emotionally to your application proving you are an applicant of substance that is worthy of time and investment. Every candidate placed by our agency, contract or permanent, is an ambassador for Blue Sky Careers in the marketplace, so we care about who you are, what you are and the value you bring to us and our clients.

Remember, finding a perfect fit is challenging for any recruiter, so look beyond the conventions. Find stimulating ways of conveying your suitability. Generic applications are a thing of the past, filled with tedious corporate textbook rhetoric. Be you, be real and showcase your skills in an imaginative and effective manner and you will find it attracts attention. Then you are on the home run.
