The Criticality of a Cover Letter: What Strengths Do You Bring to an Organization?

Chapter Chapter 11 in Preparing for Today’s Global Job Market, 2013, pp 149-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There are different approaches to writing a cover letter. However, over the years major points I have stressed to both students and colleagues I work with is that in this document you are focusing on how your competencies and skills match the specific organization and most important position to which you are applying. Common mistakes many make is communicating in the cover letter why the organization is a good fit for the applicant’s personal needs. Quite frankly, the organization could care less about your needs.
