Blog Post: Write Cover Letters that Matter
posted Monday, February 25, 2008 9:20 AM
Do you guys remember the Wendy’s commercials where the little old lady eyeballs the pitiful little burger and yells “where’s the beef”? I love those spots, and they taught me a powerful lesson. Are y’all ready for the wisdom? Life is about substance, not fluff. A hamburger with no beef isn’t a hamburger at all.
The same thing applies to our job search. We can’t get full on lettuce and tomato alone, and we can’t give our employers fluffy, wimpy little cover letters. A cover letter is an opportunity to do two things… 2) Give me the facts. Pick out and highlight a key accomplishment from your resume. Maybe you set a sales record, or you won an award from your company because you broke your neck to help a customer. Give me a specific example of a time when you rocked it out as an employee! I want to know what you did, not what you thought about doing. Can you see the difference? Go get 'em.--Doug
