Starting Your Job Search Letters From a Template

Tuesday August 12, 2008
job search letters When you're writing a lot of job search letters (and you should be when you're actively seeking employment), it can be helpful to start with a letter template. Templates are available for just about every type of job search letter, including cover letters, resignation letters, interview thank you letters, and reference letters. Also, Microsoft Word templates are available, in your Word program and online, for resumes and a variety of letters. Using a template, then tweaking it to fit your circumstances, can speed up the letter writing process and help you with what to say, how to say it, and how to format your letter.

When you're not sure what to include in your letter, reviewing resume and letter samples is a good way to get ideas to use your own job search correspondence.

Also, if you have a resume or letter you're proud of, here's how to submit your resume, CV, or letter to our collection.
