Cover letter writing is usually the one part of a job application process where we get stuck.
The reason is perhaps our own inability to decipher our strengths. People who know exactly what they have to offer never get stuck at this point. To ensure that your cover letter speaks volumes for you, you have to know your self-worth.
The cover letter is a great way of providing hiring managers with information on what your main capabilities are, as they relate to the job for which you are applying.
If you can successfully place them in a cover letter, you are set to climb the ladder to the next level – the interview stage. Remember that when a hiring manager picks up a cover letter, his or her main concern is to determine what skills and competencies you have.
The following cover letter sample will help you in writing a well-structured one to apply for a landscape foreman position:
