		<description><![CDATA[In past articles, we&#8217;ve discussed the basic structure of a cover letter. In this article, we&#8217;ll walk you through turning your basic cover letter into an impressive cover letter.
Your resume outlines your career, skills, and experience. It is the most common means of advertising to potential employers. Unfortunately, few hiring managers enjoy reading resumes.  Your cover letter is a short concise means of selling the hiring manager on reading your resume. They don&#8217;t have to commit much time to read over the cover letter, so they are highly likely to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Choose every word in your cover letter carefully; you don&#8217;t have much room to sell them. Make sure your pitch is highly focused and maximizes the value you bring. The more valuable you appear in the cover letter, the more likely the reader will be to move on to your resume.
To help with choosing the best wording, we&#8217;ve included a few sample rewordings for your cover letter.



Job Requirement:

I am a people person


I fixed up two beaters I bought at a junk yard.


I like computers


I waited tables at a restaurant

		<description><![CDATA[Every hiring manager wants to read a cover letter and think &#8220;This person is a perfect match.&#8221; The closer your cover letter is to the job listing the more likely the reader is to move on to reading the resume. You only have one paragraph to sell them so make sure you are using selling phrases in your cover letter and make sure your cover letter matches the target position.
Matching the target position: Start out by printing a copy of your best cover letter and a copy of the job ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A cover letter introduces you to the potential employer. It is designed to get the reader&#8217;s attention and inspire them to read your resume in great detail. When well constructed, a cover letter can get your resume read by twice as many hiring managers. It can&#8217;t get you the job, but definitely helps you get your foot in the door.
Ingredients of a Good Cover Letter

		<description><![CDATA[It’s not what you say, but how you say it that makes the difference. This old adage is very true when it comes to interviewing. If you are interviewing for an actual job, the hiring manager is as concerned about how you will fit in the company or team as they are with your skills. The hiring manager is adding to a team of people not buying a spring to put in a big machine. Even if they have a business only mindset, they are still human. As humans, relationships ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First impression has a lot of impact on your interview. That said, the interview starts even before you meet the interviewer. Don’t just show up at the interview. Prepare your first impression before you even show up. Prepare an interview plan or checklist to run through before heading out for any interview to be sure you can tackle the interview with confidence, leaving a great first impression.
Dress appropriately for the interview: Dress for success is the motto for any successful interviewer. Throwing on a $5000 suit is not always the ...]]></description>

The least you can do is show similar respect by researching the company you’ll be interviewing with. If you have time, it is also wise to research the hiring manager as well.

In a one hour interview, this stage of the process usually takes between 30 &#038; 50 minutes. It is by far the most focused part of the interview and is your best chance to shine.

		<description><![CDATA[Recent college grads are facing challenges not seen in most markets. In a recession, college grads are competing against job seekers with 10+ years of experience, even for entry level jobs. In many cases, highly experienced people are taking internships, just to stay relevant in their industry. This makes it very hard for most students to find a career, let alone a career that relates to their degree. Fortunately, there are still a few viable options for Echo Boomers &#038; Gen Next.

This approach is relevant in most cases. However in today&#8217;s highly competitive environment it&#8217;s very wise to also focus on your transferable skills. These skills are foreign to most individuals and can be the difference between getting the job and getting an interview.
