Award Winning Cover Letter Examples
Cover Letter Examples - Award Winning Cover Letter Examples
By Lisa Galloway

If you could do one thing to improve, your chances on securing a new position would you - of course, you would!  Good news - creating an award winning cover letter could make all the difference in being successful in your quest for a new job or not.  While it might not seem like much, this simple, one-page letter matters!

A common mistake made by job seekers is while spending adequate time on the resume, they quickly and thoughtlessly throwing together the cover letter.  This one-page is your first introduction to a potential employer so you want to do everything possible to make it count.  Before your resume is even reviewed, the employer will read your cover letter.  By writing something compelling, you will capture the interest of the employer, thus giving you an increased opportunity.

Keep in mind that while all cover letters should be one-page in length; the content varies depending on the type of job you are seeking, as well as your specific qualifications.  Therefore, it is imperative that you choose your formatting and wording carefully.  To help you get started, we have provided two samples of cover letters that will get your resume noticed!

Cover Letter Sample - One

With more than 20 years experience in senior management for large and international companies, I offer well-honed qualifications as a visionary and motivator of strategies that have delivered gains in profit and market share, thus exceeding company objectives.

As an expert with proven cross-functional qualifications that span operations and marketing, I feel confident that I would be an asset to your organization.  I am currently exploring new opportunities that will allow me to use my dynamic experience and skills for future growth of the company.

Attached you will find my resume, which captures my background, qualifications, and education, showcasing my value.  Over the years, I have been faced with a number of professional challenges, meeting each head on with positive attitude, anticipation, and direction, resulting in execution of the appropriate solution.

I am currently in a position for relocation both within the United States and internationally.  I look forward to meeting with you to discuss opportunities further.  Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Susan Jones
