Shipping and Receiving Manager cover letters that are about “you” are often looked at with a rolled eye and a curled lip. Ones that are about “them” are the ones that are seen with a smile.
It is important to be selfless when you write a cover letter. While your own interests may be foremost in your mind, you cannot make that obvious in a cover letter.
Employers of course know that you want a job for security and a paycheck but they do not want you to tell them that.
Instead, they want to know what you are willing to do for them in exchange for the security and paycheck that they will give to you at the end of each month.
So when you think “cover letter”, think of a selfless document, written especially to tell a prospective employer what you are willing to do for them and how capable you are.
There is a lot that you can do to convince an employer – mention of job-related skills and competencies and accomplishments make a huge difference.
You tell an employer that you are capable of handling all that he wants you to and you are doing yourself a great favor.
