There are some points that you need to consider in writing a perfect cover letter. Mention the name of the person who will hire you and try to use the proper name, instead of Dear Madam or Dear Sir. Write the job title that you are going to apply in the opening paragraph; it will ease the company to scan your purpose. The cover letter should be based on what the job listing or advertisement says the employer is looking out for. Add the cover letter with brief information of your previous job or experiences. Use the same font and paper with your resume paper and don’t forget to sign your name in the end of the letter. Take a look and read carefully for checking the grammar, spelling and punctuation error before sending the letter. A cover letter should be short and brief, keep it no more than one page. And you can also try to ask your friend to proofread your cover letter or resume. Below is a cover letter sample to apply a job position as a fashion designer. You are free to use it, but make sure to change the name and identity with yours.
