My colleague J.T. O’Donnell offered some terrific, thought provoking questions for job seekers to consider when writing a cover letter. You really want to offer a sphere of information to the reader. J.T. suggests job seekers answer questions such as:
- Looking at your past professional success, what makes you good at what you do?
- How has your work inspired you?
- What value does it provide?
- If asked to describe yourself in an honest, humble, funny yet confident sort of way, what would you say?
The key thing is to connect what you have to offer with what will appeal to the employer. I think these questions are a great way to start thinking!
Stay tuned this week for more specific tips to help you write your letter!
