The Secret Formula to Cover Letter Success



Ah, the dreaded cover letter. You may know what you should do and
shouldn't do, but when it comes to sitting down and actually writing it
- where to even begin? Should you even bother?

If the job listing specifically says to submit a cover letter, then you
must! You don't want to penalize yourself immediately by not following
directions. Unless there is a specified name in the job listing, always
address it to "Dear Hiring Manager." Okay, so you open with Dear Hiring
Manager, - now what?

Lucky for you, AdminSecret has spoken to a cover letter expert, and
we're here to guide you step-by-step through her secret formula to cover
letter success. This formula has gotten her interviews for all of the
positions she's ever applied for, and she was offered a job for all but
one of them.

Now, obviously you're not going to get the interview if you're totally
unqualified for the job; however, this secret formula can help you
properly organize your thoughts, highlight your best assets, and (most
importantly) grab the hiring manager's attention.



Paragraph 1: Flatter the company and show you've done your research

Paragraph 2: Delve into your past accomplishments and education that
relate directly to the job requirements

Paragraph 3: Highlight your education or latest experience and again,
show how it relates directly to the job requirements

Paragraph 4: End with immense gratitude and an action item
