This is an old school answer, but never put your desired salary on a job application, resume or cover letter. As for the letter itself, make sure it is personalized, no one likes getting a form letter with the addressed changed around. If you know to whom you're sending it, make sure the letter is personalized to a male or female recipient. Good luck.

use one of the templates on a word processor and just make sure everything is spelled right, you don't use any weird grammar and that everything is aligned *perfectly*\n\nif you want it to really stand out there should be uniformity in how each section is setup\n\nmake sure it is only one page long, unless you have a TON of work experience you need to list and it sounds like you do not.\n\ndon't list anything that you cannot relate to the job in some way as to why it would be beneficial to them if asked in an interview.  if you are fresh out of high school, community service activities and extracurriculars are OK to list but if you've been to college leave stuff from high school to the basics, i.e. you got Salutatorian or graduted with honors.\n\nList a section of relevant skills if you don't have a lot of work history but just a lot of knowledge\n\nabove all be TRUTHFUL.  if you steal someone else's as the idiot above suggested the employers will probably just find out in their background checks so don't.  employers google prospective employees now too so make sure there isn't a picture of you on myspace hitting a bong.

My recommendation is to buy or check out a book on cover letters from the library.   I would make sure that you research the company you're requesting an interview from and detail why you want to work there and why you think you'd be a good fit.

Highlight your best skills at the top in a summary fashion.  Example: Proficient in MS Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint.  Outstanding customer service skills, excellent typing ability (etc).\n\nNext, put any education you've had under that (college, high school, military experience, anything that will stand out to a potential employer as selling points). \n\nThen, put your professional experience below here.  Add dates of employment and be brief.  Don't be too wordy or they won't read your resume.  At the same time, give just enough detail that makes them want to call you and ask questions about your resume. Try to use bullet points and highlight the key points of each job.

write the following information:\n1- your objective: at the head of the resume stating what you are aiming at (so that the interviewer or the one who will assess your resume will feel that you are ambitious and you know what you want) the objective is usually: \nA challenging position at a reputable company to earn a remarkable experience and develop my skills...\n2- your social interests: at the bottom of the resume... this would give the interviewer an idea that you are not a silly shallow person who does nothing in life but hanging out with friends.\n3- try to attach a cover letter to the resume with information about your skills: like fast learner, strong personality, love to work with others, sociable, practical, punctual.... and you can mention that you don't have an experience yet and you are willing to learn....\n4- use a different kind of paper or paper with color other than white, it would draw attention to your resume.\n\nbelow is a resume i have for a lady who is a fresh graduate and has no experience yet.\n\nGood luck\n\n\n\n\nObjective: \n\nWorking at a reputable company to earn a remarkable experience and develop my skills.\n------------------------------... \nSurname: \nGender: Female\nDate of birth: 01/01/1983\nPlace of birth: Damascus\nAddress: Damascus, Ain\nMob Number: \n------------------------------...\n\nFaculty of Education / Psychology, Damascus University 2001-2006\n------------------------------...

Job Application Cover Letter\n\nAn Overview\nA cover letter is sent with your CV. It can make the difference between being successful in your job search or not.\nCover letters are generally not read during the first candidate selection, but usually they will be read when the candidates have been short listed. Do not waste such an opportunity.\nAlways include a cover letter even if the job ad does not specify that one is needed. Occasionally, job ads also specify a hand written cover letter.\nYour cover letter should not be a copy of your CV. Specify some of your cover letter achievements and be sure you know how to handle Cover Letter weakness. (Uncertain as to what you're trying to say here).\nA cover letter is a way of showing your writing and reporting skills.\nYour cover letter should be customised per employer. However, if you are sending a lot of CVs, this task could prove impossible. Try instead to have a cover letter per industry or per area.\nDo not mention salary in your cover letter. If the job ad requests your expected salary then mention a range rather than a specific amount. For example $10k -$15k rather than Â£12k.\n\nmore info on http://www.cvtips.com/job_application_cover_letter.html

I would recommend creating a header that includes your name, mailing address, phone numbers, and e-mail address. Your name should be larger than the rest of the text. It looks good to left justify the name and right justify the contact information. Check out the ppt linked below for more pointers on overall resume development. The key characteristic a good resume is that it says a lot about you in as little text as possible.

1. Send a hard copy of the resume on good paper, and put a cover letter.\n\n2. Tell them what you can do specifically to make their company better.\n\n3. Network--you have to go around in person and talk to people, and ask them who to talk to, etc.  You don't find jobs by sitting on the internet.  You have to put gas in the car and buy comfortable shoes.  You have to be politely pushy.\n\n4. Be very friendly to the receptionist or secretary--they can be your friend, and they can be your enemy, because they will talk to the boss when you are gone.

One of the more common forms of the job search involves applying for jobs from either the newspaper, Internet job boards (such as monster.com) or internal resources.  It is good business etiquette to include a cover letter when applying for the position.\n\nWhat to include in the cover letter:\n\n1.  Your name and contact information at the top of the cover letter. It is ideal to use the same heading as the resume for purposes of consistency.\n\n2.  Today's date and the name of the contact person at the company and their job title, if this information is available.\n\n3.  The name of the company and company address\n\nThe greeting should be Dear Mr./Ms. XXXXXXX.  If you do not know the name of the contact person, then the the cover letter should be addressed to the Title, such as Dear  Human Resources Manager or Dear Hiring Manager.  In worse case scenario, it is safe to introduce the cover letter to the Human Resources Manager, even if you are unsure of the title.  You can use "To Whom it May Concern," but it is ideal to address the cover letter in a more formal manner. \n\nThe first paragraph should be an introduction and should include your intention to apply for the job, the job title, internal job ID or job number if specified, and the company name. You should also include the date of posting and the name of the resource where the job is posted (Newspaper name, job board) with the name of the resource written in italics.\n\nThe body of the cover letter can include a number of items, but ideally you want to provide an over description of your career, experience and ability to perform the tasks involved in the job position. Try to address requirements that are listed in the job position and directly respond to these requirements within the cover letter.  The cover letter should also mention your enclosure or attachment (if emailed) of the resume and should either invite the reader to contact you or state your intentions to contact the employer.  The salutation should simply read -- Sincerely, followed by your name with 4 spaces in between.  Your written signature should go between the salutation and your name if you are submitting a printed copy.

Go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section.  You can also find examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nIf you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.  Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n\nThen show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets.  Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake).  You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results.\n\nGood luck.
