Judging a Book By Its Cover: How to Write a Cover Letter
If your life were an
autobiography, what would the dust jacket say
about you? The cover letter is the dust
jacket of your resume, and the recruiter's
first introduction to your voice.
The biggest secret in
headhunting is that recruiters read cover
letters last. But, before you stop reading
this article, remember that any materials
that make it as far as a "hold" pile will be
read, from cover letter to references. It is
then that cover letters matter most, as they
have the power to distinguish intriguing
possibilities from average, everyday candidates.
A cover letter not only
adds another dimension to your application,
it also shows the recruiter you can write.
Yet, from easy to catch mistakes like
forgetting to change the name of the company
in the address block to larger issues of
quantity, substance, and tone, a bad cover
letter can torpedo your hopes on landing an
interview.

The Conference Board, an
independent business research and membership
group, is reaching out to learn more about the
challenges and successes of boomers and
experienced workers, age 50 and over, who have
moved, or want to move, from for-profit or government
jobs into the nonprofit sector, as well as the
experiences of nonprofits that recruit and/or hire
boomers and experienced workers from other sectors.
"
Employers "-for nonprofit organizations
"
JobSeekers "-for individuals seeking nonprofit
jobs
"
JobHolders "-for individuals who have
transitioned
into
nonprofit jobs
If you are an experienced worker who has moved or wants to move into the nonprofit sector from a for-profit or government job, or if your organization has recruited and/or hired experienced workers from these other sectors, we invite you to participate. For the survey going to nonprofit organizations, we would advise a senior level person responsible for human resource policy decisions, including recruitment and hiring practices, to fill this out.
