Executive Manager Cover Letter

You have made an executive resume and now you are all set to impress the employers by sending them your resume. However, make sure that you don' forget the cover letter and that to a powerful one. A great resume will open the doors and a compelling cover letter can add more effect to it, because it is an important part of your employment process. It has been proved that most of the times only the cover letters are read and not the resumes.

It may happen that you will never come to know what got you noticed your executive manager cover letter or resume. However, if writing a cover letter is not your forte, then here are five steps that will teach you on how to do it right:

The first and the foremost thing is to make sure that the presentation style of your resume and cover letter matches. Always use the same font in both the application so that it gives a professional look. This will make it easier for the hiring mangers to match your letter and resume. Also, in this way you will be putting your professional foot forward
Before you send out the application make every possible attempt to find out the name of hiring manager. Never start your letter with "Dear Sir" or "To Whom it May Concern," because this will simply not work. You have to be professional as well as personal so make sure you find out the name
Always remember the purpose of your cover letter, which is to gain attention. Therefore, your first paragraph should never have all the mundane details and get straight to the point. The opening statement should have your objectives, qualifications everything in one shot
Properly summarize whatever you can do for the organization without complete replication of your resume. Even though you have made your executive resume with a lot of effort, it will be best to resist your temptation for repeating all that information. Just tell the reader how you are planning on achieving all the goals
Try to avoid the number of sentences starting with "I" as much as you can. The key strategy for a good introduction is focusing on the requirements of the employer.
