Hi Members,
I wanna write a 'covering letter' for the new job I intend to apply. Could you please guide me as to what should I include in the covering letter so that it serves the purpose? How beneficial is it to attach a covering letter while applying for a new job?
Thank you,
Mayank

Hi,

Below is a piece of info abt covering letter hope it helps you.

Cover letter

A cover letter or covering letter is a letter of introduction attached to, or accompanying another document such as a résumé or curriculum vitae.

Job seekers frequently send résumés or employment applications as attachments to a cover letter, by way of introducing themselves to recruiters or prospective employers and indicating their interest in the positions. Employers may look for individualized and thoughtfully written cover letters to screen applicants who are not sufficiently interested in their position or who lack the required writing skills.

Format

Cover letters are generally one page at most in length, divided into a header, introduction, body, and closing.

• Header. Cover letters use standard business letter style, with the sender's address and other information, the recipient's contact information, and the date sent after either the sender's or the recipient's address. Following that is an optional reference section (e.g. "RE: Internship Opportunity at Global Corporation") and an optional transmission note (e.g. "Via Email to [Login to view]"). The final part of the header is a salutation (e.g., "Dear Hiring Managers").

• Introduction. The introduction briefly states the specific position desired, and is designed to catch the employer's immediate interest.

• Body. The body highlights or amplifies on material in the resume or job application, and explains why the job seeker is interested in the job and would be of value to the employer. Matters discussed typically include skills, qualifications, and past experience. If there are any special things to note such as availability date, they may be included as well.

• Closing. A closing sums up the letter, and indicates the next step the applicant expects to take. It may indicate that the applicant intends to contact the employer, [1], although some favor the more indirect approach of simply saying that the applicant will look forward to hearing from or speaking with the employer. After the closing is a salutation ("Sincerely"), and then a signature line. Optionally, the abbreviation "ENCL" may be used to indicate that there are enclosures
