How to write an impressive cover letter for an entry level IT job?

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Actually what exactly is a cover letter? And what should it contain? And is a cover letter really effective? How can we make full use of a cover letter especially for an IT job? Thanks

PS- What is the better way- to first call the company telephonically or first send the resume & cover letter and then talk telephonically.

Here is a sample…

Dear Hiring Manager,

In search of a suitable IT opening within your esteemed organization, I take this liberty to forward my resume for your kind review.

My educational background and years of experience spans my entire expertise in IT with main areas of interests in Hardware maintenance, Web Designing and installation of all sorts of networking using Windows. What more important is my way of leading the team towards professional excellence, and delivering results of completing projects, meeting tight deadlines and performing under pressure which has been my foundation to achieve in my present assignment and career progression.

An expression of your interest would be highly appreciated, and I look forward to a chance for elaborating my skills and qualities, which could add value to your organization. Therefore, I would be available for an initial interview at your organization.

Sincerely ,
ABC
