and the Workforce:

59 % of Florida jobs will requirea college education by 2018. 2010 Census shows only 36.5 % of FL residents hold at least a 2-year degree.

What do employers want?

A report by the Lumina Foundation, issued in March, stated that

between now and 2018 FL will have 1.6 million job openings

Mr. Archie WeatherbyCalifornia Investments, Inc.25 Sacramento StreetSan Francisco, CA 94102

Dear Mr. Weatherby,These days, it's not enough to generate great results.  You need to reduce costs as well - and without impacting quality of service.Over the last twenty years, I have focused on delivering great service while constantly refining processes and reducing costs.  Because I'm flexible, I can both manage and roll up my sleeves and physically do whatever it takes to complete the task at hand.  I'm familiar with technology; I can implement the newest methods and processes.  I've consistently reduced on costs at my current company - and I'd like the chance to do the same for you.

I'd like the opportunity to show you how you can put my experience to work for you.  I'll call you on Monday morning to arrange an appointment.  If this time isn't suitable for you, please feel free to call me at (772) 234-5678 with a time that would be more convenient.

I'm excited about your company, and I look forward to contributing to your future.Sincerely, John Oakley

My expertise is making sales and increasing revenues!  If you believe your company could benefit from an Outdoor Sales Representative with a solid track record of success in the construction industry, then I believe you will be interested in what I can offer your company. A great salesperson requires a number of key skills and qualities, among them strong negotiation and communication skills, determination, professionalism, assertiveness, and a goal-oriented approach.  My success has been founded on demonstrating these qualities and abilities: however, true sales success is measured in results: -    Increased sales by 30% for Florida-based manufacturer and

supplier of roof trusses and floor joists-       Added over 30 new accounts and over $3 million to bottom

line results in just under 3 years with a newly established paver installation company

 

I am a results-driven and highly self-motivated professional, and I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you to discuss how I can contribute to your team.  I can be reached any time at the above phone number or email address. Thank you for your time and I look forward to speaking with you. Sincerely,  Jane Byers

Cover Letters

• See weebly page – Cover Letters

• http://cnaexamcram.com/cna-cover-letter-sample-1/

Page 26: Welcome IRSC Alumni! Functional Summer Schedule Resources sgreen@irsc.edu Professional IRSC Alumni Skills.

Cover Letters

• 1. Attempt to find out the interviewer’s real name. Most will just write “To Whom it Concerns.” This is both impersonal and therefore shows a lack of real research.

• 2. Place the title of the position here. You want to show that you have read the position’s description and have written a unique cover letter.

Page 27: Welcome IRSC Alumni! Functional Summer Schedule Resources sgreen@irsc.edu Professional IRSC Alumni Skills.

Cover Letters

• 3. If you don’t have experience, then write something here about a quality or an experience that you think will make you stand out. This should be your strongest quality of them all since this is the first paragraph. In most cases, the interviewer will only read the first paragraph, so this needs to be your best!

Page 28: Welcome IRSC Alumni! Functional Summer Schedule Resources sgreen@irsc.edu Professional IRSC Alumni Skills.

Cover Letters

• 4. Research and find something the organization is involved in. Have they won an award? Do they have a new project they are starting? Is there a quality or standard that they talk about on their website? If so, then write about that and then in the second part of the sentence give them a reason to believe you will belong in that organization and further help them accomplish or maintain a specific goal.

Page 29: Welcome IRSC Alumni! Functional Summer Schedule Resources sgreen@irsc.edu Professional IRSC Alumni Skills.

Cover Letters

• 5. Every job description will have certain qualities that they are looking for. Insert those here, and then finish the sentence with an explanation as to why you already have those qualities.

• 6. Make sure your email is professional. If you email is not professional enough, it is very easy to create a free Gmail address and have it redirect to your personal account.
