General Labor Cover Letter

The lesser known fact is that there is nothing much a resume can do. Your resume can be packed with impressive stats, design elements that the employer is looking for but it still gets rejected. To avoid this situation, it is important to show the employer that you have more than the bullet points in your resume. You will have to share the extra information in your cover letter in such a way that it strengthens your resume in a positive way. Cover letters will give you the opportunities that your resume will not.

However, usually while writing a cover letter people tend to make some mistakes, which put their letter straight away in the trash can. Here are some tips that one must consider while writing a cover letter:

Try to make the covering letter as concise as you can. Employers will spend very little time reading your cover letter. Ideally, a cover letter should be not more than four paragraphs, and one of those paragraphs should tell a short story about yourself
Always remember that you must never neglect the storyline in the remaining letter. Even if there is only one paragraph in your letter in the story form, you must always integrate the theme of the story in the rest of the letter and tie it together
Try to make your stories specific and whenever you can try to quantify the results. It is easy for the reader to picture where you wish to succeed in your job whenever you describe a certain situation. Also, most of the employers are attracted to numbers which indicate results
Never ever write an autobiography. Telling a story does not mean that you have to describe the entire career, that should be in your resume

Here is a general labor cover letter that you can refer to.

Always look for cues in the job advertisement. Study the ad carefully and check what the employer is looking for. Whenever you write a cover letter make sure that it is in response to the ad's intent. Check for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors and you are good to go!
