Free Cover Letter Samples

Free cover letter sample 1 is ideal if you have (or plan to) do an accomplishment based resume.  Accomplishment statements are clear quantifiable ways that a client can understand your contribution.   If you have not done so, take some time to brainstorm and document your achievements throughout your career. Remember accomplishment statements are clear proven ways that you have made an impact on your job. 

TIP -  Every employer/client wants to know what you have done that will help him/her.  Accomplishment statements clearly communicate your successes. 

Accomplishments from volunteer work are great.  Even if you have been out for a while those successes still apply.  Although they may be dated they are still valuable.  You just don't have to highlight when your accomplishments occured, the reader will realize the timeframe when they look at the resume.  Your goal is to have them excited about reading past your cover letter and onto your resume.   

Free cover letter sample 2 is perfect when sending a resume to a referral.  It can be tweaked to address a specific job.  I am sure, you have found  in your job searches that your excitement and drive are stronger if the lead came from someone you know.  I cannot stress enough how important it is to share leads.  As a Smart Moms Network, we can help one another with legitimate leads for opportunities that fit our lifestyles.  Your internet searches and discussions on the forum may result in contacts that may not work for you but might suit someone else perfectly.
