Recently I was working on my resume. I needed to put together the best resume cover letter possible to land this job. I had been looking into a company I wanted to work at and finally there was an opening. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and while working on my resume I came across some software products that promise quality custom cover letters that will wow the reader.

Being that I had been looking at this company for a while now and had gone as far as submitting unsolicited resumes, with no reply or acknowledgment of its receipt. I needed to send a letter with my resume that would give the reader a reason to bring me in for an interview. What I learned from the cover letter program was valuable, yet the software didn't deliver on one little detail. It really wasn't that big a deal. I can understand how it would be difficult for this software or any other for that matter to deliver to that extent. What I thought didn't reach the expectation they sold me on was the one click cover letter idea.

I know it's almost impossible to deliver a custom letter much less the best resume cover letter possible with one click. What I had to do was edit and plug specific information about the company I was applying to, in order to make it as custom as I could. On the positive side, all the digging I had done in the past, into the company, came in very handy when I customized the cover letter. It was easy to customize the letter with all the information I already had.

The best resume cover letter is the one that gets you into the interview chair. I did get the position I was looking to get at the company. I was successful at capturing the attention of the reader of my letter and have them thoroughly read my resume.

The best tips I could suggest would be to invest time learning about the company you want to work for. Find out who you'll be interviewing with and make your letter directed to that person. Find out about associated companies and the business environment the company may be experiencing. If you can bring value to yourself, by addressing point you know are areas of weakness for the company and how you can bring solutions to the table for those weaknesses'. You'll have more success presenting yourself in that manner.
