There\u2019s only one way to find out more about the person, and that\u2019s by sending the first message.\r\n\r\nThe challenging part of the first message I send through online dating sites is determining what to say. I\u2019ve never met these people before, but I do have access to their dating profiles filled with their hobbies, hometowns, and more. This is a perfect starting point for my message, especially if we both root for the same football team or if the other person likes to run as much as I do.\r\n\r\nYour cover letter serves as an introduction to your future employer and should complement your r\u00e9sum\u00e9\u00a0to create a shining first impression. It is incredibly challenging to sit in front of a blank screen trying to find a good starting point, which means you should look at the job posting and organization\u2019s Web site for ideas about what to include.\r\n\r\nGenerally, these job postings provide a set of hard skills (such as proficiency with certain technology) and soft skills (such as public speaking, teamwork, or working in a flexible environment) required and desired for the posted position. This information provides you a list of what should be explained in your cover letter. Demonstrating your hard skills is a simple enough task by using examples or stating certifications, but describing your soft skills may require a little more thought. These soft skills can be exhibited by discussing specific examples of past experiences in previous jobs you\u2019ve held, volunteer work, or work you\u2019ve done in college classes.\r\n\r\nAfter you have crafted your cover letter, you should send it to a few people you trust for their opinion and overall proofreading along with the job posting for their reference. It\u2019s obvious that your cover letter should be free of spelling and grammar errors, but these trustworthy individuals will also be able to provide helpful insight about the examples you\u2019ve used to display your soft skills.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2014Jackie Vetrano,<em>\u00a0Foundations of Academic Success: Words of Wisdom<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"textbox learning-objectives\">\r\n<h3>glossary<\/h3>\r\n<strong>cover letter:<\/strong> a short letter of introduction that explains to a potential employer why you are well-suited to a position\r\n\r\n<\/div>","rendered":"<div class=\"textbox learning-objectives\">\n<h3>Learning Outcomes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify characteristics of an effective cover letter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-195\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images-archive-read-only\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1110\/2016\/02\/02024944\/2987612253_c4cd44a006_o.jpg\" alt=\"Table with four piles of papers waiting to be assembled into application packets\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cover letters matter.
