Use
of language in your cover letter
As
you write your cover letter keep the same rules in mind as you use
in the writing of your resume.
Keep
your sentences short and your paragraphs concise.
A
long-winded cover letter demonstrates a disorganized mind and an
inability to communicate fluently.
Once
again be aware of the power of short words and concise sentences.
A common mistake is the overuse of long words that have no relevance
to the message you are sending out and instead confuse and alienate
the reader.
Keep it simple,
state the facts and focus on the message you are sending out rather
than the manner in which you send it.
See
the example below to assist you with writing a powerful cover letter
that will get you noticed.
