Find a Job in Bossier

Want to find a job in Bossier, LA? That's a lot easier to do with a great cover letter.

At Express Employment Professionals Shreveport, we know how helpful a cover letter can be when you want to make a strong first impression. We also know that a great cover letter will show not only that you're a strong candidate, but that you're also the ideal fit for this particular job.

Below, we've compiled four of our best tips for cover letter writing to help you find a job in Bossier that works for you.

Find a Job with a Stronger Cover Letter

1. Avoid a Boilerplate Approach. The easiest way to write cover letters is by writing a generic letter and tweaking it for each new position. This might be easy, but it's rarely effective. These letters reveal a lack of effort on the part of applicants, and they're easy to spot. Worse yet, a generic cover letter won't be able to highlight what makes you such a good match for this specific opportunity.

2. Think Like an Employer. When writing your cover letter, try to think the way an employer would. In the end, employers aren't looking for a great "on paper" candidate. They want someone who can deliver results! So when you write your cover letter, don't just list the skills that make you a good candidate. Talk about how you'll harness your skills to help the company achieve its goals.

3. Make Personal Connections. If you can, it's always a good idea to highlight the personal qualities that will help you thrive in a new job. Do your personal values align with the company's mission? Will you be able to work on interesting projects in your new role? Does the position come with opportunities you find exciting? These are all good qualities to mention in a cover letter.

4. Be Clear & Be Brief. The best cover letters have two things in common. Number one, they use simple, confident, and direct language. Number two, they keep things short and to-the-point. Do your best to communicate clearly and aim for a maximum length of 250 words.
