Scrub Your Office Furniture Resume Cover Letter

By: Ajeet Khurana

To get a great job you have to fend off all rivals and so you need to set yourself apart early. Unfortunately, the only weapons at your service are a piece of paper and some information. How you present that information is going to determine if you get that awaited for interview. Try using these wonderful suggestions for writing great resume cover letters. For the purpose of this article, we will use a generic job of "Office Furniture Purchaser" to illustrate the main ideas.



* Don't use up your first paragraph with a boring introduction. Grab their attention first. Give them the reasons you are qualified right off the bat.

E.g.: Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to apply for your advertised position as office furniture. am interested in focusing on my career achievements from the past 15 years in the office furniture industry with you.



* Don't use old stand-bys like "Attached please find my resume..." Your prospective employer can SEE your resume; they don't need you to tell them it is there. Avoid statements that waste space. If you need to refer to your resume in your cover letter, use statements like this:

E.g.: Here is my resume to show you that I am a qualified and skilled office furniture purchaser with a proven track record in budget saving techniques.

There, you just told them that you have experience, and you know how to save them money, AND you have a resume.



* Use simple, uncomplicated language in your cover letter. If you are educated, they will know that you can use big words in the interview.

E.g.: I would be honored to work with you, and establish my record breaking office furniture purchasing experience with your company.



* Make sure you mention your job requirements, and mention words used in the ad in your resume as things you can do. It may look blatant, but it influences the prospective employer to see you in a better light. For example, if the ad says, "seeking detail oriented and efficient time manager for Senior Office Furniture Buyer", you want to say...

E.g.: My skills include a flawless attention to detail, commitment to meeting deadlines, and multi-tasking experience as a Senior Officer in a National Furniture Division.



With simple tips like these you will soon have a brilliant resume cover letter. Good luck!
