Cover Letter Writing Tip

Ok folks, here is one of my favorite cover letter writing tips: Put a "headline" in your cover letter that practically screams to the employer "Wow! This is one person we HAVE to bring in!"

So, what do I mean by that? Let's say you are applying to work behind the deli counter at the local grocery store. You've had 5 years experience working with food, maybe you were a line cook, etc. You also have a certificate that shows you went through food safety and kitchen sanitation training.

Why not make that a big selling point? Make your letter look something like this:

To: Ms. Janice Burns, Deli Manager
GrocerMart
1313 Mockingbird Lane
Yourtown, STATE 00000

"2 reasons why I may be the perfect person to work at the GrocerMart Deli:"

Dear Ms. Burns,

Here are the 2 reasons why I may be the perfect person to fill the counter clerk at the GrocerMart Deli:

• Food Safety - It's extremely important in commercial kitchens, and I've got the training and experience to keep the food safe and clean.
• Sanitation Training - If you want someone who is certified and experienced in keeping a commercial kitchen like GrocerMart Deli clean, spotless, safe, and ready at any time for a visit from the health inspector, I'm your person.

See how that works? Stay tuned for MORE cover letter writing tips and suggestions!
