[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 80962, member: 47"] Re: Creating a cover letter for a job position Tell him something he doesn't know, both about why you want the job and about yourself. He knows his business and has an idea of what he wants in the next employee. Demonstrate an understanding of his business that will set you apart from every other applicant and cast yourself in a manner that sets you up as the next employee without overstating the truth. He may superficially know something about you but not understand why it matters to him. Who are you? Why do you want the job? Why should you get the job? Why does that matter? For example, in the simplest sense, you may be the 'new guy' to him. Reminding him that you've been reliable for six months and already have a great rapport with the entire team might help. Owners/Managers tend to notice screw-ups and problems and fail to internalize the little goods deeds that actually make the world go around... [/QUOTE]
