Cover Letters.
Cover letters are an important part of a recruiting process. They serve as an introduction of the potential candidate and immediately demonstrate the personality of the applicant. They are the first documents read by human resource people. It is important to remember that this is your initial impression. In some ways, it is more important than the CV.

Consider the following objectives of a cover letter.
1. To introduce the candidate for a position.
2. To permit for the job applicant to sell themselves.
3. To demonstrate their style.
4. To introduce the applicant.

Dear Sir/Madam

I have included in the CV how much experience I have, how many years I spent at university, how many companies I have worked for and how much my salary was.

I have overseen numerous marketing projects and I understand the importance of team work. I have also been able to manage production schedules respecting sales targets and budgets along with quality control from pre-sales to signature. My ability to work well with people facilitates the management of sales and marketing teams along with the smooth running of the closing process. Being client-centric and understanding the development of good team work, I feel I can be a good contribution to your organization.

Further experience throughout North America and Europe has given me a strong understanding of various cultures. I can be contacted at this email address or at the phone number indicated above.
