In the know: Let’s cover the cover letter
Stressed Out Nurses Weekly, June 9, 2008
A well-written cover letter and a top-quality résumé are essential to getting an interview. Making a good impression is critical!
Each résumé you send out should include a personalized cover letter specific to that employer and job. Things you should include in the cover letter are
- Which job you are applying for and how you heard about it
- Why you are interested in the job
- Why you feel are you a good fit for the position
- A brief summary of your experience or training
- Your salary requirements
- How you can be contacted
- A thank you
