  • Now, before I get into the cover letter tips, and the cover letter example that I've got

  • prepared for you, a very warm welcome to this tutorial.

  • As I say, my name is Richard McMunn.

  • That's me there in the center.

  • I'm a former fire officer and for the last 20 years or so, I've been helping people to

  • pass interviews, complete job applications, and also to create brilliant cover letters

  • that get them a job interview, and beat the competition.

  • you won't miss out on any of the tutorials that I am uploading on pretty much a daily

  • basis now.

  • And also, I'd very much appreciate it if you gave the video a LIKE.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you very much.

  • So, let's get straight into the content so you know how to create a brilliant cover letter.

  • First and foremost, what is a cover letter?

  • What is the purpose of a cover letter?

  • Well, a cover letter is designed to accompany your job application, and it must sell your

  • key skills, the qualities you have and also the experiences you've gained so far to demonstrate

  • you are the perfect candidate for the job.

  • So, with the cover letter, we want to make sure it shows the person reading it that you

  • are the best candidate.

  • OK.

  • So we need to take a bit of time to create it for your particular job.

  • Now, that does not mean it has to be long.

  • It does not have to be long in nature.

  • And it is really easy to create a brilliant cover letter.

  • But let me give you three top tips for creating the perfect cover letter before I give you

  • my cover letter example.

  • Tip number one.

  • Keep it short.

  • Keep it concise and above everything else, make sure it's positive in nature.

  • So, it does not need to be lengthy.

  • Simply because the hiring manager or the person reading it, they don't have the time to read

  • through reams of text and pages.

  • The best cover letters are short and powerful and are just one side of A4.

  • So that's brilliant, your cover letter should only be one side of A4.

  • I've had them before come through for jobs for me and they've been two, three, four and

  • sometimes five pages long!

  • I do not read them.

  • One side of A4 is perfect for a cover letter.

  • Tip number two, make sure you load your cover letter with powerful key words and phrases.

  • So, if you think about it, the Hiring Manager who reads your cover letter, they will have

  • read many of these before.

  • Therefore, we need to make sure yours stands out from the other applicants.

  • And to achieve this, we can make it unique by inserting a number of positive keywords

  • and phrases such as I am professional, I am self-motivated, I am a determined and enthusiastic

  • person, I am confident and I am also a great team worker - of all those kind of key words

  • and phrases that are positive go to help demonstrate that you are the right person for the job.

  • Tip number three, don't make any spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes - very, very

  • important.

  • If you do, then your cover letter and your application is likely to end up in the bin.

  • So make sure it doesn't have any spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes.

  • And I've created a cover letter for you that is great that I'm going to come onto in a

  • second.

  • So it's really important to make sure your cover letter has zero mistakes.

  • So what do we include in your cover letter?

  • Let's break it down into five things.

  • Number one, you have to have a professional introduction.

  • And I'm going to tell you exactly what to write.

  • So, give them a professional introduction.

  • Number two, then tell them who you are and the reasons why you are applying for this

  • job.

  • Number three, then go on to explain the skills, the qualities and the experience you have

  • that are a perfect match for the role you are applying for.

  • Then number four, this is probably the most important element of a cover letter.

  • Give them a powerful CLOSING STATEMENT.

  • Say something at the end that makes them want to interview you.

  • That makes them want to hire you and then provide them with your contact details at

  • the end.

  • Give them two things.

  • Telephone number that they can contact you on quickly to invite you to the interview.

  • And then finally an email address, a professional looking email address, and make sure you check

  • your emails quickly.

  • So if they contact you, don't spend days before you reply.

  • Get back to them quickly.

  • And also, in respect of your contact telephone number you give them, if there is an answer

  • phone message, make sure the message is professional.

  • So, what to include?

  • Number one, that professional introduction is an absolute must.

  • So when you start off your cover letter or the cover email, make sure you start off with

  • Dear sir/madam.

  • Exactly that highlighted in blue.

  • Don't sayto whom it may concern”, if you use Dear sir/madam, then you're covering

  • all angles.

  • But it makes you come across in a professional manner in respect of your communication, youre

  • being formal.

  • Then, the second thing, the job you are applying for.

  • Provide an introduction that tells the hiring manager the name and the position you are

  • applying for.

  • So, here's what to write.

  • “I am writing to apply for the position of administrative assistant with your company

  • as advertised on, and I've put there Indeed.com.

  • So, all you would need to do is change the role.

  • So, change Administrative Assistant for the role you're applying for and then change Indeeed.com

  • for the website that you found the job advertised on.

  • So, “Dear sir/madam, I am writing to apply for the position of Administrative Assistant

  • with your company as advertised on Indeed.com.

  • Just change those two parts.

  • The next thing.

  • Number three, who you are and why you're applying for the job.

  • So, this aspect of the cover letter should only be a few lines long, but it needs to

  • include details of you as a potential employee and the reasons why you've applied for the

  • job.

  • Here's a great example.

  • “I am a positive, enthusiastic and self-motivated person who understands the importance of customer

  • service and great attention to detail in a role of this nature.

  • I am applying for this job because having researched both the job description and the

  • person specification, I believe the experiences I've gained in life so far are a perfect match

  • for the position.”

  • So, that is a great, a great paragraph to put in your cover letter.

  • So, do the Dear sir/madam, then the job you're applying for, and then put that in there as

  • well.

  • Then the next part number for details of the skills and qualities you possess that are

  • relevant to the role.

  • So during the next stage of your cover letter, list any skills and qualities you have gained.

  • So, they are a perfect match for the job description and the person specification.

  • Here's what you should write.

  • The skills, qualities and attributes I possess that will be of benefit to this role

  • are as follows.

  • An ability to work hard as part of a team to achieve the company goals and projects.

  • High levels of customer service and care.

  • A desire to continually develop within the role so I can continue to contribute positively,

  • an honest, reliable and professional approach to my work.

  • Able to follow rules and procedures.

  • A willingness to take on all tasks regardless of their complexity.

  • And a positive and enthusiastic attitude to my work.”

  • All of those things are attractive to an employer.

  • Then number five, a powerful closing statement.

  • What do you say at the end?

  • So, at the end of your cover letter, include a powerful and positive closing statement

  • that goes on to explain why you are the best person for the role.

  • Here's what I would put.

  • “I fully appreciate you need to employ someone within this position who can not only deliver

  • on their promises, but who can also work as part of a team to carry out the daily tasks

  • and objectives you need completing.

  • I strongly believe I am the best candidate for this position and would very much appreciate

  • the opportunity to attend an interview.”

  • That's a great, powerful closing statement.

  • Then number six, the correct sign off at the end of your cover letter with your contact

  • details.

  • So, the final aspect of your cover letter is to sign off correctly.

  • So if you've used.

  • Dear sir/madam, which you would have done, finish off with Yours faithfully.

  • That's really important.

  • So you should also include your contact details.

  • Don't forget - mobile phone number and also an email address that you would respond to

  • quickly.
