Dear Jim:

I appreciated the chance to speak with you about management consulting at Ernst & Young. As a member of one of the top consulting firms, you provided me with helpful insights. In particular, I was interested in the specific projects you had worked on, such as re-engineering the order entry system for American Airlines. Much of my work experience is focused on dealing with new systems, and I hope to combine this experience with my communications coursework to give me the well-rounded approach that a consultant needs.

As you suggested, I have enclosed my resume. I believe my academic record reflects my determination and desire to produce exceptional work on a deadline. My communications major and business institutions minor have given me both interpersonal and analytical skills. And, I have leadership experience both as president of my sorority and as a graduate of Northwestern University 's undergraduate leadership program. Most importantly, I enjoy challenging projects and thrive on responsibility.

Again, I appreciate your taking the time to speak with me about management consulting. I'll touch base with you after Christmas to confirm your receipt of my resume and discuss whether my background seems to be a good fit for a position at E & Y.

Have a terrific holiday!

Sincerely,

Jerry Spencer

 

Tips to Make Your Letter More Professional

  • Research the company and the specifics about the position so you can tailor your letter to the needs of the organization.
  • Avoid using too many sentences that start with "I" or writing in the passive voice (ex. "This experience enabled me to..." or "Through my internship, I was responsible for..."); instead, make yourself the subject of each sentence and use active descriptions (ex., "In this internship, I demonstrated sound judgment and problem-solving skills on a daily basis.").
  • Do not use contractions (I'd, didn't, it's).
  • Spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes are out of the question! Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, so make each cover letter an example of your best work.
  • Be sure to sign your letters. (Black ink is suggested)
  • Keep your letter short and simple. This is not the time to tell your whole life's story.
  • Have a Career Specialist review your cover letters during drop-in hours: Monday-Friday 1:30 – 4:30 and Wednesday 8:30am – 11:30am OR you can make an appointment anytime.
  • Use good quality paper that matches your resume paper and envelopes.

And at last the main thing:

What should the cover letter do for you?

It should answer followings question - Why should I hire you? It should grab the employers attention and point out why you, above all other applicants, should be contacted for a personal interview. If you are answering this correctly in your cover letter, you will get interview call next day. Checkout how to write a cover letter for more information on writing a cover letter.
