Longshoreman Cover Letter Sample

Updated on: November 2, 2017

A Longshoreman cover letter has to be really interesting for a hiring manager to give it any consideration.

One that is not much to write home about will be rejected.

That is a constant. How does one make a cover letter interesting?

If your cover letter is a storyteller, you can easily win brownie points. If not, you need to pay a visit to the drawing board.

It is true that not everyone should be expected to write a perfect cover letter, as not everyone is a pro writer. However, when applying for a job, it is imperative to put your creativity into action.

If you have trouble writing one from scratch, it is best to ask for help, or seek assistance by going through well-written cover letter samples. Make sure that you do not copy verbatim from samples, and ensure that your cover letter is perfectly on-spot with what the hiring manager is looking for in a candidate.

Here is a sample to help you:
