Dear Mr./Mrs./Ms. (Your Contact's Last Name):

Use the first paragraph to give the reader insight as to how you became aware of a certain position or their company. Use a powerful upbeat first sentence like; "It is with great enthusiasm that I provide you with my career profile."

Use the second paragraph to highlight a few of the benefits you think you will bring to the employer. Be sure to use action words in your sentence like; develop, create, enhance, increase, or decrease. Remember, you need to create a visual picture of your abilities.

Use the third paragraph to invite the read to review your attached resume for more information. Also, be sure to close with a statement like; "I would like to discuss my resume in person so that we may review my credentials together. I am available to meet with you (provide a few dates). I will call you on _____ to determine if that works with your schedule." Asking for the interview is a sign of confidence and interest.

Respectfully,

Your First and Last Name
