Change In Career Cover Letter

Jimmy Said:

Do you understand what I'm trying to say? My cover letter (its short.)?

We Answered:

It is too vague. Be specific. What position are you applying for, what skills and experiences do you possess that are specifically asked for in the job announcement. Also DO NOT put in your cover letter that you are going to go and do you MSW - this is a dead give away that you won't be around very long.

DA

It sounds pretty much ok. you can cut the detail you have provided with commas like data entry and book keeping. and better to add some more qualities that matches the job requirements.
else its good.

Applying For Apple Position Creative , Need Cover Letter Help!?

We Answered:

This reads very much like you are speaking to the a friend instead of a hiring manager. That may work well with Apple and their environment, I'm not sure. I've made some adjustments below you can use or ignore (your choice), but I suggest at least focusing the cover letter on what you offer the company (why they should hire you instead of the other applicants, try to remove some of the "I" statements) and not selling yourself short. Remeber, this is your sales pitch to get the interview.

Dear Mr./Ms.___ (or "hiring manager" if you can't find out their name)

My experience explaining technology on a day to day basis to friends, family, and peers makes me a great candidate for the Creative (include the entire position name if there is more) posting on the Apple Career site. I am a creative person who, listens patiently to customers needs and concerns and assists them in resolving problems and making sound purchases.

I am a serious Apple enthusiast from iPhones to iMac and have visited the Apple store on many occasions. (maybe add some detail as to your experience in the store, like how you think you can do what the "specialists" do or how you think you can improve customer service. Or include a story about helping someone use an apple product or why you love apple products. Add something personal that makes them remember you: "oh, you were the one who helped her aunt set up __ app").

My expertise involves Mac, but I also have experience in Windows Vista, XP,HP-UX and am familiar with several applications and tools. I have previously helped new Mac customers navigate the basics, understand familiar software, find similarities to PC's and shown an easier solution in a Mac.

In my experience as a cashier and various temp agency positions, I've gained valuable customer service skills. As a customer, I want to be treated with respect no matter my question, so I carry that into my own dealings with customers. Even the most difficult customer needs patience and understanding.

I believe my character, communication and technical skills and my outgoing, bubbly personality make me a perfect fit for the Apply store. I also believe working for Apple can challenge my creativity because Apple itself inspires me!

I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about the Creative position. Please contact me at the email address below.

Sincerely,
(My Name)
