After hours of formatting, taking small breaks to check your facebook, editing, eating your cold leftover pizza…you have crafted the ideal resume! That is wonderful but unfortunately you have one more task to take on: writing your cover letter...dun…dun…dun.   This can be a tedious process but once you adopt these five steps directly from http://www.careerealism.com/cover-letter-mechanics-how-to-write-a-good-one/ you will have the basic structure for creating the best cover letter:

1.     The Salutation:

2.     The Opening

3.     The Second Paragraph (The Hook)

4.     The Third Paragraph (Paragraph of knowledge)

5.     The Fourth Paragraph (The Close)

Good luck and happy cover lettering!
