Administrative Cover Letter - Why Cover Letters Are Now Required
What would you give to be able to hand in a resume knowing that the job is yours if you want it?
I would imagine quite a bit!
What if I told you I know of a way to accomplish just that. That's right! And the best part of it is, nobody is doing this!
Adding an Administrative Cover Letter to your resume will increase your chances of an interview call by over 200%.
Now I know that you probably spent hours upon hours on your resume making sure that it was absolutely perfect. But in my experience that doesn't mean anything.
I have been hiring employees for firms around the world for over 8 years now.
So needless to say I have seen my fair share of good resumes and bad resumes. When I am going through a stack of resumes I am looking for something to stand out to me. Something that will grab my attention and make me stop. This is the purpose of a cover letter.
In general there is nothing in the resume that makes me want to stop and read it.
Resumes are boring but necessary.
They allow me to make sure you are qualified for the position but they tell me little else about you.
This is where the administrative cover letter comes in.
This letter is designed as a sales page. You are selling yourself to a potential employer. Your giving them something amazing to read and leaving them wanting more.
