Do a cover letter for an Accounting Internship

Do a cover letter for an Accounting Internship

You will write a 1 page cover letter addressing the company that you've found (job posting).cover letter.
In your cover letter, you should:

o Be as clear as possible about the kind of opportunity you seek.
o Show that you understand the company and the position.
o Never volunteer salary information unless an employer asks for it.
o Keep it short—no more than three or four paragraphs.
o Show some personality.
o Project confidence without being arrogant.
o Don’t just repeat information from your résumé.

Note: Application letter is the same as a Cover letter.
A solicited application letter is in response to an announced job opening and you’ll
usually know what qualifications the organization is seeking.
An unsolicited application letter is sent to an organization that has not announced
an opening, so you’ll need to do some research to identify the requirements the
position is likely to have.
Because application letters are persuasive messages, use the AIDA (pg#226)
approach to organize them.
The opening paragraph of your application letter has two important tasks to
accomplish:

o Clearly stating your reason for writing
o Giving the recipient a reason to keep reading by demonstrating that
you have some immediate potential for meeting the company’s needs
To build interest and create a desire in the middle section of your application letter,
try to:

o Be specific and back up your assertions with convincing evidence.
o Be sure to discuss each requirement specified in the ad (if you’re
writing a solicited letter).

o Mention salary requirements only if the organization has asked you to
state them.
o Refer the reader to your résumé by citing a specific fact or general
point covered there.
