It is okay to be a little confused when you are writing your first cover letter. The fact that you “expect” to feel this way will save you from writing a cover letter that won’t sit down too well with the person reading it.
Just like standard letter writing, an entry-level cover letter is based on the introduction, main body, and conclusion format.
The introduction paragraph is all about the employer: Discuss where you heard about the job opportunity, what you know about the company, and why you are writing the letter.
The main body is about you: Describe who you are professionally, your specific skills, and how you intend to use them.
The conclusion needs to be action-oriented: Don’t wait for the employer to call you. Instead, give him or her the impression that you will call and set up an interview date and time.
That about sums up a cover letter for first-time writers. Technically, it is these 3 paragraphs that need to be gratified. Pay special attention to the content and style of your writing. Be professional without being boring.
