Impressive cover letters go a long way to shortlist the candidate to be called for an interview. It is like winning the battle half way.

Mr. Larry H. Robinson,
Greens Informatics,
4876 Cameron Road,
Niagara Falls, NY 14304.
Dear Mr. Robinson,
In response to your advertisement for an Industrial Engineer in yesterday's Recruitment Daily, I would like to submit my resume for your attention in application for this position.
Over the past four years a medical device manufacturing facility here in New York has employed me as an Industrial Engineer. As part of my role I was involved in an exhaustive programme to implement lean processes throughout the plant. To this end we are engaged in lengthy time studies of each operation and remove non–productive time from each operation. We simplified each process and combined work–steps wherever possible. We were very successful in reducing headcount, increasing efficiency and reducing throughput times. I worked closely with production and quality on every line, building rapport with each of the teams supporting the lines and through this I found we gained positive results each time.
I feel that I can bring this expertise to your plant and through implementation of lean principles making your company increasingly more competitive by reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you in advance for taking the time to read my resume. I should like to meet with you to discuss this opportunity further and can be contacted at the above telephone number. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Carlos C. Johnson.
