If your cover letter fails to impress a hiring manager into calling you for an interview, the fault lies within the cover letter.
No one can be perfect and seriously, hiring managers do not really look for perfection. They want as near perfect as possible. And that is an achievable goal.
The reason that you are writing a cover letter in the first place is that you want to tell the hiring manager that you are a good contender for a job.
And this is what your cover letter should come out to be:

Mr. Ryan Cobain
Hiring Manager
WinCo Foods Inc.
9002 High Meadow Road
Stowe, VT 18732
Dear Mr. Cobain:
Getting along with people is second nature to me – and so is being organized in everything that I undertake. Amalgamating these two inherent qualities, I am interested in working as a personnel clerk at WinCo Foods Inc.
I am positive that I can do justice to this role by virtue of the following qualifications:
- 8+ years’ hands-on experience in processing and overseeing the processing of benefit and personnel transactions, including insurance enrollment, appointments, promotions, and reinstatements.
- Unmatched ability to handle the development and implementation of benefit communications materials, including legally required notices and employee presentations.
- Competent in reviewing timesheets and work charts to detect and reconcile payroll discrepancies.
- Effectively able to process and issue employee paychecks and statements of earnings and deductions on a regular basis.
I strongly believe that my addition to your team will be beneficial to the processes and operations of WinCo Foods Inc. To explain why I believe so, I suggest that we meet in person. I can be reached at (000) 855-8457 if you need to contact me for further information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Perry Edwards
