Cover Letter for Programmers
Cover letters can be termed as the 'inevitable lots' in the modern days. People in the commercial and corporate world will not be able to imagine an official life without cover letters. They are being used exhaustively for all official purposes.
Out of the many categories of cover letters, one is follow-up cover letter. As the name suggests, such type of a cover letter is written in order to follow-up with the employer or the recruiter, who had called you. Remember this point that, such a type of cover letter is written only if the employer or recruiter has called you to give any details regarding the job profile.
Do not get confused with a thank you cover letter and a follow-up cover letter. There is a difference between both of them. The former is written in order to thank the employer for any favor granted and the latter is written in order to be updated with the person who has called you. It dawns the impression on the reader that you are keen to join the organization and that is why you want to be updated with the minute happenings of the recruitment process.
The samples given below will direct you in drafting an effective cover letter.
