How To Write Cover Letter Samples

You might think you only need one sample cover letter but it is actually worthwhile to consider writing a few different cover letters samples. Having a few different types of samples will help you to apply for jobs quickly. Samples can be created to represent a few different scenarios.

Sure it will still be necessary to make at least a few modifications for every application. The extent of the modifications you will have to make will be much less significant when you have samples available for a few different situations.

The first sample you create should be one for a job similar to your current job and this sample should demonstrate your duties and responsibilities. This sample should really make it clear that you are well qualified for your current position. One thing you do not want to do is describe duties you are performing which should be done by your subordinates.

When writing cover letters samples for positions above your current rank be sure to include job responsibilities which are outside of your regular scope of work. Including this information should help to make it clear you are ready to take on more responsibility.

In conclusion, do not neglect to write a sample for a position which is below your current level. Ideally you will always be moving up in your career but sometimes a downward move may be necessary. In some cases another employer may pay more for lower positions than your current company pays for your current position or you may be facing downsizing and be willing to take a job with less responsibility.
