Standard cover letter writing is a complete no nowadays, since there is just so much of “standardization” that an employer can take.
Prospective employers look kindly at cover letters that are a cut above the rest, and have something new to say.
This “something new” is also a problem to contend with – what can you possibly write the likes of which a hiring manager hasn’t read before?
This is where your creativity comes in. You are an individual and you have to make sure that your individuality is communicated to a prospective employer in a manner that matters to him the most.
When you resort to saying the same old things in a cover letter, you are doing more harm than simply risking your chances. It is important to create a cover letter that is spot on with what an employer is looking for.
If you are unsure of what he requires, read and reread the job advertisement.

Mr. Ethan Logan
Human Resource Manager
The US Oncology Network
821 Saddle Crescent Avenue
Oakton, VA 67021
Dear Mr. Logan:
I am looking for the most unique of opportunities – one that requires innovative leadership and decisive action. With my exposure and commitment to working as a Nurse Researcher, I am sure that I will be able to contribute effectively to The US Oncology Network, as I am well-versed in providing patient care in both clinical and specialty areas, as per approved clinical protocols.
The list of my career successes is extensive and spans a large array of areas, with oncology being a specialized one. As someone who thrives in fast-paced and high-profile atmospheres, I offer exceptional expertise in evaluating potential research participants, scheduling screening evaluations, explaining consent processes, performing required screening evaluations, and randomizing participants into appropriate research studies.
I am an expert when it comes to participating in specialty clinics, coordinating with clinical staff and physicians to evaluate patients who are considered for research studies. My analytic skills are extremely well-polished, as you will discover through the quality assurance (of study data) procedures that I can formulate and implement.
I will call your office on Monday to confirm that I have completed all required application steps, and to inquire about the interview and selection processes. In the meantime, I can be reached at (000) 747-7421 if you require further information.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
Emily Mathews
