Here are some tips to help you in the process of sending your cover
letter to an employer.
| Printing--Print your cover letter and résumé on good
quality white bond paper (at least 24# weight) available from
Central Services in Leighton or from the Career Center, 25 sheets
for $1.00. The Career Center has both Macintosh and PC's available
for printing. Make sure the paper matches. |
| Mailing--Type the address, don't handwrite it, on a standard
white business-size envelope. |
| E-mailing--Send your cover letter and résumé as attachments
to an e-mail. Your e-mail should simply state your name and that
you have attached a résumé and cover letter in a particular format.
Offer to send them in another format if there are problems. IMPORTANT:
Be sure you don't send a virus with your résumé. If you cost a
company thousands of dollars in computer damage even before you
work there, you can bet they're not going to be eager to hire
you. |
