Writing a Cover Letter for a Resume


Sometimes, rather than calling for an interview, you can request one in writing. The language that you use when you ask for an interview in writing is more formal. Usually you send this letter along with your resume. There is a simple three-step process to write a letter asking for an interview. Use this table to create your own letter by substituting the appropriate information.
STEPS STEP ONE: Tell how you found out about the company and what job you are interested in. POSSIBLE SENTENCES  I saw your online ad for the job of full-time journalist and think that I have the skills you are looking for.  I am applying for the position of full-time journalist that was advertised on your website.  John Gray, one of your managing editors, told me that you are looking for a full-time journalist. CREATE Your Own CoVer LETTER (Your address) (Date) Director of Human Resources (Company) (Address) Dear

Step two: Refer to your resume and write one or two of your qualifications.

 I am attaching a copy of my resume, which lists my work experience as a journalist.  My qualifications for the position include an ability to successfully interview people and write effective articles.  My attached resume gives you a picture of my experience. I am currently a journalist at The Times.

STEP THREE: End your letter asking for an interview.

 I look forward to meeting with you soon and hope we can arrange for an interview.  I would welcome an opportunity to meet you and discuss the possibility of my working for your newspaper.  I would be very happy to meet with you and discuss my qualifications further.

Sincerely, (Your name)

Dear Amy, Well, here we are in the U.S. On Monday, we arrived at one of the largest airports in the world. The children were tired, but happy. Tony, my youngest child, was the most excited of the three. We are staying with my friend Paula in a gorgeous house in one of the most expensive areas. Paula tells me that some of the most successful public personalities live nearby! Tom and I are looking for a house of our own.

Dan and Macy are trying to decide which apartment to lease. They like two apartments, but each one has problems. The first apartment has lots of space. It has many built-in closets, which Macy likes. Dan likes the apartment because it has lovely wood floors. But the master bedroom isnt big enough and the bathroom is too small. The second apartment has less space than the first and there are fewer closets. There is also too much wall-to-wall carpeting and the living room isnt roomy enough. The second apartment has many modern utilities, but it is a little too expensive for Dan and Macy. Dan and Macy dont have much time. They must sign a lease and put down a deposit soon.

This week our interior designer, Craig Hall, writes about a store called Timeless. Timeless is not a new store. But it looks completely different from the way it looked three months ago when the manager decided to remodel it. Although the store doesnt look the same as before, its as interesting as it always was. Timeless is still the best place to buy antique furniture. The store is not as cheap as other antique stores, but the furniture is not like the furniture in any other store. The antique coffee table I looked at was of excellent quality. Although it was over a hundred years old, it looked as good as new. I also saw some light fixtures similar to those in the White House! So if you, like me, love antiques and like to buy furniture that is not the same as everyone elses, spend some time in Timeless!

Do people still fall in love at first sight these days? Is dating as romantic as it was twenty or thirty years ago? Decide for yourself. This week David tells his story: In the past many people married their high school girlfriend or boyfriend. I did the same. I met Gloria during a football game. It was love at first sight! But I was only seventeen and very shy. Three months passed before I finally asked her out on a date. We fell in love and began dating during our final year of high school. Two years later, while I was at college, I proposed to Gloria. We got married right after I graduated. It was a very stylish wedding! Unfortunately, Gloria and I got divorced ten years later. We still talk to each other. But we both think that maybe we married too young. These days, couples wait until theyre older before they marry and start a family. Is love over for me? Not at all! Last year I met someone new. It was during a friends party. A beautiful woman started talking to me. She seemed a little embarrassed. Excuse me, but arent you David? she asked. Didnt you go to Waterfall summer camp when you were in junior high? Maybe you dont remember me, but my name is Sara Whitman. We looked into each others eyes and laughed. It was love at first sight or was it second sight?!

First Conditional A  Read the text.


Q: If I stop eating snacks, will I lose weight? A:  It depends on which snacks you eat. If you eat lots of junk food, you will gain weight. Once you stop eating them, you will start losing weight. You can eat between meals if the snacks are healthy. Try eating fruit and vegetables. Q: M  y daughter has gone on many diets but she doesnt lose much weight. This affects her badly. She just gives up. What can she do? A:  Perhaps the problem is that she isnt exercising. If she exercises a few times a week, she will lose weight. The moment that she starts losing weight, she will feel better about herself and she wont give up. Q: M  y dietician says I need to go on a diet. I am fat and I smoke. This is affecting my health. Where should I start? A:  If you stop smoking, you will have less health problems. The first thing to do is stop smoking. Then start cutting calories, eating healthy food, and exercising. If you dont do all three, your health wont improve!

BE GREEN  What will happen to the earth if we dont start saving energy? There will be an energy crisis in the future!  If we didnt recycle, how much unnecessary waste would there be?  If every person did their best to stop pollution, imagine the difference we could make! Here are a few tips from the environmentalists: i) If you want to save gas, drive to work in car pools with other workers. ii)  If you dont want to cause more pollution, dont use plastic bags. If we bring our own cloth shopping bags to the supermarket, we wont have to use so many plastic bags. iii)  Turn the lights off when you leave the room. If we all did this, we could save a lot of electricity. iv)  If you use disposable cups and plates, you create more garbage. If you used glass cups instead, you wouldnt have so many items to throw away! You would save paper.

Writing about Going Green A 


BRIANS BLOG

Sorry I havent written anything lately, but Ive been busy. Let me tell you what Ive been doing. My girlfriend showed me that I havent been good to the environment. Ive been wasting a lot of electricity and creating lots of garbage. With her help, Ive made very big changes. The first thing I did was organize a car pool. Two co-workers and I drove together so we only used one car. Then I took it one step further. Two months ago, I decided to sell my car and started riding my bicycle everywhere. For longer rides, I take the bus. Sometimes it is inconvenient, but most of the time, I love it. Also, I walk a lot. Its very healthy. I feel great! Ive made big changes in how I shop. These days I only buy things with little or no packaging. For instance, I used to buy packages of tomatoes from the supermarket. They were wrapped in plastic, on a plastic tray. Now I buy fresh tomatoes from the farmers market. They taste much better, and have no packaging. Also, they were grown nearby, so no gas was wasted to drive them to my city. My girlfried, Gina, explained how important it is to buy locally grown foods, and I agree with her. Of course, I bring my own bag to the market so I dont use many plastic bags. I bought a really cool bag that I can re-use and I bought one for Gina, too. Every time I change a light bulb at home, Ive replace it with an energy efficient light bulb. But they dont need changing so often because Ive started turning off the lights when I dont need them. My girlfriend and I sometimes prefer candlelight. Ive recycled paper, glass, and plastic for years, so Im still doing that. Its great because then there is less garbage. Ive gotten used to turning down the heat in winter. Ill try not to use the air conditioner so often in summer, but that will be difficult! Making changes at home is easy because I live alone. Ive also tried to make some changes at work. Thats been a little more difficult. Most people at the office like to recycle paper, if they have a place nearby to put it. I am trying to convince some of the people in my office to bring their own cups and plates instead of using disposable ones, but only a few people want to do that. Well, I cant change the whole world! Thats about it for today. Ill try to write soon about other changes Im making. But now its time to turn my computer off. I never leave it on all night anymore!

After he had chosen the camera, the shop assistant convinced Mike to look at the other items on sale. Before he knew it, Mike had bought a DVD player, an MP4 player and a flat screen TV. The salesman had taken out his calculator and had worked out how much money Mike was saving. Mike ended up buying three expensive items we dont need! By the time his shopping trip was over, he had spent thousands of dollars! Ill be reminding Mike of this the next time I go shopping for clothes! Love, Betty

WHAT WENT WRONG? UNHAPPY COMPuTER OwNERS This week computer expert Paul Grey answers your questions about computers. Q:  I recently bought a new scanner. It cost me $500. Now I see that scanners cost only $300 in most stores. What did I do wrong? A:  If you had shopped around more, you would have found a good deal. If you hadnt bought the first scanner you saw, you might have found a special offer. The next time you want to buy electronic or computer equipment, try Erics Electronics or Crown Computer Stores or surf the Net for special offers. Q:  Last week, my children uploaded a few new games onto my very old home computer. A little while later, while I was working on an important spreadsheet for work, my computer crashed. What went wrong? A:  If your children hadnt uploaded those new games onto your computer, it wouldnt have crashed. New games take up a lot of memory on your computer. If you had checked how much memory the games needed, your computer wouldnt have crashed. Q: W  hen I got my new computer, I asked a young computer student to install a DVD burner and set up the Internet connection for me. Now neither the burner nor the Internet is working. Where did he go wrong? A: The young student clearly didnt know what he was doing! He would have known what to do if he had taken a technical computer course. Maybe he is taking a computer course in word processing! Next time, get technical advice from someone with experience.

Review the information.
WRITING NUMBERS CORRECTLY When we write articles or reports, we often have to write numbers. In some cases we write the number in words (five) and in other cases we write the numeral (10). Here are some rules to guide you: Write numbers under 10 in words.

We pay three utility bills each month.


Write all decimals in numerals.

The commission was 1.5%.


Write the number 10 and over in numerals.

This budget is for the next 10 months.


 Very large numbers are often written in a combination of words and numerals.

The bank exchanged over $5 million last year.


Time is usually written in numerals.

There is a 3:00 p.m. meeting of all the new student chefs.


Y  ears are always written in numerals. However, when you refer to a decade (ten-year period) you can write either the sixties or the 1960s.  Never use a numeral at the beginning of a sentence. It is sometimes better to rewrite the sentence.

But our excitement didnt last long. When we checked in, we were told that the reservations had been mixed up and that our room was booked by someone else. The manager apologized and said, I will see that this problem is solved immediately! A few moments later we were shown to our room. It was lovely! Fresh flowers are put in each room every day. Excellent service is offered by all the hotel staff. Delicious breakfasts are served in the coffee shop each morning. Fresh bread is baked there daily. The spa isnt situated inside the inn. It is located in a lovely garden area nearby. We were each offered a spa treatment on the house to make up for the mix-up with our reservation. We really enjoyed our stay at the Independence Inn!

Dear Paula, Steve and I have just gotten back from a wonderful vacation. It was the best vacation that Ive ever had! We stayed in a hotel which Jack recommended to us. Its not a chain hotel. Apparently it is privately owned by a guy whose wife works with Jack. When we got to the hotel there was a mix-up at the front desk. The assistant manager had given our room to a young couple who had arrived that morning. But the manager apologized and we ended up with a luxury room that opened out onto a private balcony! The huge heated swimming pool, which was near the tennis courts, was just one of the many hotel facilities. The hotel is located near a lovely little town, where we took a guided tour of the museum and the local winery. The red wine that the winery produces is delicious! After the tour we sat in a coffee shop until midday, when we headed back to the hotel for lunch. We had the best time. Did I mention we went horseback riding, too? Why dont you drop a hint to Nick? I know youre looking for a quiet place where the two of you can enjoy your wedding anniversary. Well, this is the ideal place to spend a romantic long weekend. Love, Jane

Final year students at Howard College celebrated their graduation in an impressive ceremony that over a thousand students and their family members and friends attended. The head of the college presented special honors certificates to students who graduated top of their courses. Their names have been officially added to the Honors List the college is so proud of. Our reporter, Sally Norman, interviewed two of the honors graduates. She was curious to know about the plans and dreams they had for the future. Amy Green, who graduated top of her class in journalism, wants to take some time off for now before she begins looking for a job as a journalist. She wants to travel and do all the things she didnt have time to do while she was studying. Its like a dream come true, she said. As of today Im free to do whatever I like. Does she plan to get married and have children in the future? Yes, I do. But first I have to find a man who likes the idea of me having my own career! Mark Hammond is the honors student in the business course that many students find so difficult. He has already been offered several jobs. Will you take the job Maran Ltd has offered you? Sally inquired. You never know, Mark replied, smiling. Maybe its the sensible thing to do. Maybe not! The first thing Im going to do is get my honors certificate framed and hang it in a place where people can see it!

PARENTING IS SCARY! Im expecting a baby in July. Actually, to be honest, Im expecting two babies. I havent yet gotten used to the idea of having twins. I got used to not drinking any alcohol or coffee quite easily. I didnt use to drink a lot of alcohol or coffee anyway. Im even getting used to being hungry enough to eat a horse most of the time! But I havent gotten used to the idea of being a mother. I am really nervous and scared about the challenge. Although I used to do some babysitting when I was a teenager, I am not used to caring for two little babies at the same time. My husband says its very scary for him, too. He is not used to being around babies at all. He knows hell have to get used to waking up every few hours instead of sleeping like a log every night! He also knows hell have to get used to having both a son and a daughter at the same time! We both know this is a very big deal, but arent we supposed to feel happy and excited instead of nervous? Linda Everett (24, Northampton) The experts advice: Its totally natural for you and your husband to feel this way, especially with your first kids and with having twins. Dont worry! Every parent gets used to the change in routine and taking care of children. Dont be afraid to ask parents or family members for help in the beginning until you both get used to your new role as parents.
