I am sure you must have read “http://topwritersden.com/how-to-write-a-good-cover-letter/” and “http://topwritersden.com/how-to-write-a-perfect-cv/”

If you have done so, then we are good to hit the ground running. A letter of introduction for a job is practically a form of letter that introduces you to the hiring manager. Someone will ask “then what is the cover letter all about?” Then I reply, “Read the above article and point out the difference with what I will write here.” Job seekers most times write a letter of introduction unknowingly with the notion that they are writing a cover letter. A job seeker strolls past a company and decides to drop his resume, just in case there is a vacancy. The question now is “Which is appropriate to drop, cover letter or letter of introduction?” In this article, I will show you how to write a letter of introduction that lands you your dream job.



Personalize your greeting to the HR Manager:

I believe the job was not advertised, so unlike our cover letter, no email was written down for you to know who will receive the mail. Just take a quick and harmless step into the company and scout around for the name of the H.R because I believe all Job correspondence will go to him. He will be so excited to see his name on your letter. And guess what? He won’t forget you so easily if you a vacancy pops up. In the case you are willing to send mass letters; I request you input “Dear HR Manager”. But wouldn’t it be better getting their names?

Create a SUPER INTRODUCTION:

No job was advertised, so there is no need to streamline your opening towards a specific job area. The trick here is you write an opening that would enable them call you even when a job you aren’t a specialist in comes up. Let’s say you type


“My name is lalasticlala and I am a goal getter and someone who loves to achieve a lot. I graduated with a second class upper from the university of —------ and I am someone who is open to all job role bust with more specialty in Business/sales development”

The trick is you add things that would only make them give you an invite for any job role that comes up. Remember! “DON”T PERSONALIZE ANY JOB ROLE”

Summarize your Talents/Achievements

This one is meant for the second paragraph. Most letter of introduction writers create boring letters, all in a bid to write all that comes to their head. The H.R will spend just few minutes, glancing through the letter and he is busy looking out for something that would excite him. I promise you that no one will spend time reading all through your letter unless they find something of interest there. Imagine yourself as an H.R with a bank, and you open a letter of introduction and find something like this

“Last year, I was given a target of 20million naira, and before the end of the month, I reached and exceeded the target” Tell me, will you call the owner of the letter for an interview?

Create a call to action:

This basically means you should tell the H.R the next move to take unconsciously. I remember applying for a job vacancy that was written “FOR FEMALES ALONE.” I remember telling the H.R “If you call me for an interview, I will be willing to show you the strategies that I intend to implement, that no female applicant can ever think of.” Guess what? I was the only male at the interview hall and I was chosen but left because negotiations broke down.

A call to action shouldn’t be the everyday “I will be glad if I am called for an interview…” nobody cares if you are glad, so show the company why they should call you for an interview.

Don’ts for a letter of introduction:

NEVER PERSONALIZE: (Greetings, Abilities, Skills, etc.)

USE SMALL FONTS

TYPO ERRORS

MORE TIPS:

SEGREGATE THE COMPANIES FOR SUBMISSION ACCORDING TO SECTORS (You can’t be going to give out letter of introductions to schools and you are putting your sales abilities)

BE CLEAR AND PRECISE AS POSSIBLE (Go Straight to the point)

PROOF-READ

LET YOUR CALL TO ACTION CONVINCE A BLIND MAN.

Writing a good letter of introduction opens doors for job invites even when others can’t access it. Following all the above steps gives you an edge even to the interview stage. Like an H.R manager said “When I read a good resume, Cover letter or Letter of Introduction, I follow up the candidates to know how much they performed against others during the interview.” What do you think of it?

Cover letter is writing and introducing yourself to the hiring manager specifically for a job you want to apply for.

But what if you wish to drop your cv for dropping sake... just in case?

Op is letter of introduction the same as letter of interest?

Interesting.

Nice one. I hope everyone who finds their eyes on this will take advantage of the information. I am also documenting a series titled, the Memoir of a Job Seeker - see the details below:

Introducing The Memoir of A Job Seeker

Sitting before the interview panel, Tobi glanced at the faces behind the oval conference table. He counted 7 faces. While trying to remember all the interview rules he practiced the night before, he wondered why seven people had to interview him for a graduate trainee position. More so, he was an undergraduate in his final year.

“Can we meet you?” requested the lead interviewer. Tobi began his response, “My name is Tobi, I am the last child of my family, and I am from Kabba in Kogi State. I like bread and beans with passion, I love burnt beans too…” his confidence began to melt when he read the faces of his interviewers, some struggling to keep a ‘serious’ look, others trying to conceal their amusement. It was his first interview. He will later find out that, “Can we meet you”, is an opportunity to market oneself.

I have worked with 3 organisations; Hyperlink Technologies Ltd, Globacom Nigeria (as Contract Staff) and Japaul Oil and Maritime Services Plc. In the course of my job search, I garnered firsthand interview experience which I’d now share with you. I’d be sharing the highs and lows, the fun, frustration and high spirit that characterize job search.

The Memoir of a Job Seeker series is meant to enlighten, inform, entertain and prepare you for the interviews you will attend in the near and distant future. The accounts are a mix of real life experience, research and fiction.

After submitting several job applications and not being invited for interviews, many applicants begin to worry. Some wonder if they are under a spell or a victim of bad luck. These job seekers lose sleep and weight in an attempt to figure out why they are not always lucky.

If you fit the description above, be assured that nothing is wrong with your personality. Your seeming lack of luck maybe as a result of salient factors, these factors will be addressed in the course of this series.

The Memoir of a job Seeker will be published monthly from February 2017 . To get the series in your mail box, visit www.olorunfemibabatunde.com and submit your email with the subscribe box.
