Most people forget or ignore writing the covering letter while applying for a job, but is a great mistake. Don't do it Guys!
A covering letter is the most important part of your Resume as it reflects your passion towards the job you are applying.
An effective covering letter should include your basic introduction such as your name, educational qualifications, and city where you reside.
Further, it must contain the name of the position you are applying for, just after the name and address of the person to whom you are applying (before "Dear Sir"). All these things must come in the first paragraph of your letter.
In second paragraph, you should state the reason why you applied for this specific job and why the employer should select you.
You must state your qualities and skills here and give reason how they are fit for the applied position.
In the last paragraph, you must thank the person to whom you addressed your letter. Put date&place in the end, your signature just before your full name, and your covering letter is ready. An updated Resume must be attached to this covering letter.
An example for a perfect covering letter:
You should put date and place after your name. Also write, "Position Applied For: Position Name" just before "Dear" and align it centrally.
