How do you make a good/great cover letter?

Just Google cover letter example for the field you're in and use the best one you find as a template and make the necessary changes.
Look at the duties listed and job requirements incorporate them into your letter as your skills. Match up your skills to what they are looking for.
Have someone else proofread after you proofread.
Make sure you make it about them, and not you. Like you want to be an asset to make their company prosper/ continue to run smoothly. Like how you guys talk to females, it's about them...but it's really about you trying to get what you want.

Stop lyin' nicca.
Lie about how great you are.
NOT. They find that shyt out one way or another in a snap.
send audio cover letters, trust me on this.
last week, i applied for a job and within 10 mins I got a reply for an interview. He said great way to make your resume stick out, you're the first person to ssend in something like that.

Was this McDonalds? Im not sure you could do this with every field or job
It was actually for about 5 ad agencies, I got 3 replies due to it. Don't be a smart ass.
OK OK....so what did you say? was this like a 30 second commercial about your abilities and skills? Put us on...It was actually for about 5 ad agencies, I got 3 replies due to it. Don't be a smart ass.
I'd post one but then I open myself to be searched and whatever.
I introduce myself, go through my job history and a few points for each place/things I've done that may help me succeed at the job, other skills I have, why I am a good addition to the team and a closing.
They run between 4-10 minutes depending on the requirements of the job. The one I got my latest interview for was about 4 mins. The longest one I've made is 15 mins. I use them because you're able to build an emotional connection with the hiring manager without them even reading your resume or going in for an interview. I call it a one sided interview because that's what it is pretty much.
Keep it simple and practical. Say how your previous experiences are a direct match to the job your applying for.
@ wolves but yea this seems to be a great idea. I always wondered about when you go to a fill out your profile on a company site and they ask you to attach a resume or 'any other' attachment if they really open thise attachments. Good shyt
I usually post the link in the cover letter section or if I have to email it I'll write a small paragraph with the link in it so they see that first before going to open my resume.
ALWAYS SAVE AND ATTACH YOUR COVER LETTER/RESUME AS A PDF. MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL AND EASIER TO READ (Yes I posted this in caps but it's an important step when applying.)
Trust me, we used to delete resumes because they weren't formatted properly or they send us a word doc and there's page breaks everywhere. It's the little details that will fukk you over when applying. Think about it, it's your first impression before they decide to interview/hire you. If you can't put effort in for your resume, why would we hire you?
People just need to step their applying game up tbh.
