[Recipient Name] July 8, 2011 Page 2 You may have already seen tons of cover letter samples you are hoping to emulate. Of course you are not allowed to copy those sample resumes because these samples will not tell anything about your skills and even relative experience during your college years. To help you get started, here are some tips on how to write a good looking resume. It is not a sample but a general idea on how to write your resume. By sticking to an idea, you will not end up copying parts of sample resume.
It is important not to have a sample cover letter in front with you while writing one of your own. Oftentimes, you will be inclined to copy the cover letter when they are accessible. Here Is simple tip: read as many cover letters as you can but do not have any copies of those letters when you start writing. Be original in your writing style so that you can provide the recruiters an idea of your ability to think independently.
But that does not mean you should be sorry about being inexperienced. Why? It is not your fault being young. There are fresh graduates who include their cover letter with this statement, I may be inexperienced but or Im just a fresh graduate but.... You are practically killing your chances of getting hired because you are giving them the idea that you are inexperienced or a fresh graduate without any skills.

It may not be much but showing them that you have been excellent in these simple tasks will make you an outstanding candidate. Besides, you already have a degree that could be related to the industry you want to work with. If there is anything a company should look for, it is a degree related to the industry.
