Before we did this assignment I had never written a cover letter before, so this was all completely new to me. As we talked over examples and worked on them in class the outline became a little more clear. I now feel a lot more confident that if I needed to write a cover letter for a job I would be able to. I think that I have the gist of being able to sum up my skills and try to keep a professional format, which at first was hard for me. I was not sure how to go about writing skills in a way that didn’t sound braggy or too informational. I was also unsure how to properly format things in a correct and professional manner. Having peer review of our cover letters made a big difference in my final product as I was really thankful to have fresh eyes look at my writing. Another thing that will help me in the future that I used to not know is about AIDA. So now having this information in my head now I am a lot more sure of how to appeal to an employer. It’s all about giving them what they want to hear while also not boring them in the process.
