Getting Results from Your Résumé’s Cover Letter

The cover letter is a vital companion to your resume. Below are some tips to help your cover letter meet your goals.

• Customize
  Take the extra time to customize your cover letter for the particular position for which you're applying. A form-letter-style or "basic" cover letter probably won't get your resume to the top of the stack.
   

• Show how you are qualified
  Select key skills from the ad and point out how your experience relates to those skills. If you don't have direct experience in the banking industry, use the cover letter to showcase your most relevant transferable skills. For example, if you're applying for a Teller position, you may want to showcase your cash handling or customer service experience.
   

• Demonstrate how you'll fit in
  Tie your skills, experience and values to the Bank's corporate culture. For example, mention previous experience you may have working for another community bank or financial institution with a strong sales culture.
   

• Keep it brief
  Resist the temptation to repeat every detail that appears on your resume. Instead, keep your cover letter to one page. You'll have the opportunity to share all the details if you are asked to come in for a personal interview.
   

• Include a "call to action"
  Close your letter by restating your interest and inviting the Bank to contact you to further discuss the position. Be sure to include your phone number on the cover letter.
