How to make a cover letter if you apply as a dental assistant?

Good Cover Letter? Any Help Or Tips?

  • I need a job badly just as everyone does >< so obv competition is firece, is this a good cover letter, and can i improve it in any way? Dear Sir or Madam, I am applying for a Christmas job as a retail assistant. I saw in the shop window that you were employing for Christmas Temp’s. I would like to be employed by Mother Care because I think it is good for parents that they can find everything they need under one roof and that they are given high quality products for their baby without paying extortionate amounts of money. I am 16 and very hard working. I have good leadership skills but can also listen and follow instructions which make me good in a group team or singularly. I can also communicate well with others making myself easy to work with and helpful. I am open and friendly and am very approachable and can communicate well with people that wish to know a piece of information or just provide a smile in the morning when they come to do their shopping. For my work experience I worked with horses, but also I occasionally interacted with the customers and I preferred this part than to the horses and enjoyed helping the customers find the right tack or helping them tack up. I was allowed to help with one lesson and liked holding conversation with the customer for the 30 min lesson and helping them. I have also stapled my CV to this cover letter as it will be handed in, and you may need/want to see what is on it. Yours Sincerely **************

  • Answer:

    This is a good start, you've listed a few of your qualifications for the position. Generally, retail positions require a resume. Academic positions tend to use CV's. May I suggest doing some research so that you can get an idea of the content and structure of good letters and resumes? One site I've found very helpful to me in the past is Quintessential Careers (quintcareers.com). They provide free samples of both kinds of documents. Here are some other sites you may want to check out: Jobstar.org, About.com's Job Search, and eresumes.com. Hope this will be helpful to you.

Your previous work information will be in your CV so it is best to leave it out of your letter. To start your letter Dear Sir or Madam is not a good idea. If you can't find out the name of the person you are writing to then start with:- Dear Sir/Madam I would like to apply for the position of Retail Assistant as advertised in your shop window and enclose my CV for your perusal. You will see that my experience though varied has involved Customer Service, team work and using initiative which I very much enjoyed. This is a fantastic opportunity of joining the Number 1 Mother and Baby retail outlet and I am very aware of the excellent reputation of Mother Care for their value for money, the quality of their goods and the friendly and very knowledgeable Staff. I would love to be given the opportunity of bringing my skills, experience and dedication for the future benefit of your Mother Care Branch. I can confirm that I am available to attend an interview at a time convenient to you and look forward to hearing from you in due course. Yours faithfully sign your name here Print your name here If you know the name of the person you would start Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms/Miss Copy out the above letter and end Yours sincerely sign your name Print your name Don't staple your CV to the letter *employers don't like it. Broad outline only of your qualities - let them read your CV Three paragraphs only and in the order that I have shown I teach CV and Letter writing to unemployed people so you should be ok If you need any more information [email protected] I will be pleased to help you

First of all, fix EVERY grammar mistake. That is 'employing for Christmas temps' not 'temp's'. Don't say your age. It's no one's business. Every claim you make, make sure you support it. You're a good listener? Support it with evidence. For your work experience, focus on the customer part not on the horse part. List all your duties and achievements and all skills you've gained doing that job. Let the manager know how your would prove valuable for the position. Your last sentence is really bad. Try something like: 'My CV has been included with this cover letter. On it you will find a detailed history of my work experience and achievements.' Good luck. Looking for job is hard, but if you don't give up you'll find something.
