Using the job listing you found, write a cover letter introducing your resume. Use the letterhead you created for your resume. Do NOT use a letter template! Create the letter from scratch. Because you are writing about a job that is advertised, follow the format for a solicited cover letter:

Opening $-$ Use one of the following techniques to open your cover letter.

o Refer to the name of an employee in the company.

o Refer to the source of information precisely.

o Refer to the job title and how your qualifications fit the requirements.

Body $-$ Use the body of your letter to promote your qualifications for this position.

o Demonstrate how your background and training fit the requirements.

o Summarize your principal assets from education, experience, and skills.

o Avoid repeating specific data from your resume.

o Refer the reader to your resume.

Closing $-$ After presenting your case, you should conclude by asking confidently for an interview.

o Ask for an interview. Consider hooking the request to a statement reviewing your strongest points.

o Make it easy to respond. Tell when and how you can be contacted. Some recruiters prefer that you call them.
