Cover Letters for Banking Jobs
A cover letter is a short summary of your resume that highlights the essential parts of it in a positive manner. A cover letter acts as a catalyst in between the recruiter and job seeker. Basically, the cover letter is divided into 3 sections; the first is header or the introduction section that includes the objective of drafting the cover letter, the second is the main section or the information section that includes the professional and personal details of the job seekers and the last includes the salutation part, as we thank the recruiter for their consideration and valuable time in going through the cover letter and also try to show your eagerness in joining the organization, thereby compelling them to arrange an interview with them.
There are certain rules for drafting the cover letter i.e. the cover letter should be short and precise, it should contain correct and relevant information, it should have a professional outlook and there should be a particular sequence for drafting a cover letter. Let us now see some of the examples of cover letter that will give you a clear idea of how to draft a cover letter for a particular job and what are the things that need to be mentioned in the cover letter.
