Resume Cover Letters

 

Medical Assistant cover letters and resumes objective  - Patient Care Assistant résumés and cover letters examples  - Medical Office Assistant resume help

 

Think of the cover letter as a sales letter.  What are you selling?  Yourself!

 

How do businesses generate interest in a new product?  They list the products key features; explain how the product will save time or money and lastly, where to get the product. 

 

Imagine your trying to sell your car.  Which advertisement would get more response “4 door automobile” or 2002 Honda Civic, Dependable, drive anywhere family transportation with great 32MPG gas mileage.”


NEVER send out a resume with out a proper cover letter!  A generic cover letter or worse no cover letter at all sends a powerful message to potential employers - your lazy.  Take the time to do a separate cover letter for each job.

 

What should you include in the cover letter? How can you benefit the employer!
