Introduction
In a job market that is becoming more competitive, many graduates experiencing difficulties in writing a cover letter and tailoring it to particular position in way that they can be distinguished from the rest. This is especially true if their university education focused more on technical aspect while giving students insufficient instruction on how they should present themselves to employers through professional format in a cover letter. A good personal presentation on cover letter goes a long way in persuading the potential employer that one is a good match for the available position in their organization (Gallo, 2014). This makes a student ready to take on any position arising from the workplace and be perceived by the employer as the best for such vacancies. Therefore , this report analysis how I will compose a cover letter that will deliver information about my qualification , while at the same time compel the audience to have confidence in my aptitude for the position
Searching through online professional media like LinkedIn, I managed to find out the various responsibilities and duties of a real estate sale of agents. The information provided showed the benefits of being in such position especially on networking and growth in this field. I was able to find the kind of people I will have to work with, communication and language and the general environment.
The conventions that the cover letter will embrace involve paying attention to grammar, spelling and punctuation. In addition, the cover letter will involve a broad outline of why I am interested in the position, what makes me suitable for the position and the various aspects that I find quite interesting in being a real estate agent. This will also include an outline of the efforts that I have been employing in pursuing the interest in subject position, how my education background has provided the right support for this position. Spell check is quite important so as to avoid the rejection of the application due to many errors. Using spell check and asking others to proofread my cover letter and double checking when there doubt on the check. First impression counts since it demonstrates attention and due care which makes one to have a better chance of getting the interview (University of Washington, 2016). To achieve the other aspects, I intended to sell myself using examples and evidence that can match the job requirements. Recruiters are normally eager to know how one is different from others through skills, knowledge and experience which can be provided through well written outline. Through quantifying my major academic achievements and past experience in related fields, I will be able to present myself as an outstanding candidate for the position. By focusing on these conventions while writing the cover letter, I will make the right moves in the writing and presentation of the right information.
To address the concern and the needs of the audience who are the hiring time, the cover letter will focus on what I will offer to the hiring organization. The cover letter will provide an outline on how much I know about the company, and how my efforts will contribute to the set mission and organization’s philosophy. Therefore, the cover letter will address on how my skills and knowledge will help in international and local clients with sale and rental transactions, and how in helping them to determining the property value for those willing to sell their properties. Also included will be the negotiation skills on pricing and facilitation of the closing process on customer’s and organization’s behalf. By highlighting what can be offered to the company the letter will give the hiring team a good opportunity for assessing the dedication to the real estate agent position and how much can be accomplished on behalf of the company. Having completed my internship and worked in other smaller positions, I will emphasize on the experience I have gained in the sales sections for previous employers and how this will help me in carrying the outlined roles and responsibilities for the vacant position. By establishing my credentials, the cover letter will capture the attention of the audience since they are mostly interested in a person who will serve the needs and requirements of the available position.
The aim of the cover letter is to establish my credibility for the position through credentials and a professional communication. This means that a professional tone is better than a colloquial tone for this genre so as to offer the best perception. It will also involve suing an academic and structured format and not using any casual language, such that the use of clichés and abbreviations will not be employed.
Discussion
While writing a cover letter, one needs to think about their audience, who will read it, and how to capture their attention in such a way that they move them from one group to the next. Showing communication skills and personality will help one in making the case that other people who have applied for the same position do not have what they can provide (Victor, 2016). This means that the cover letter has to focus on the hiring organization and not repeating the information that has been outline in the on description.
