Cover Letter for Teaching Jobs
A cover letter is that piece of document which gears a conversation between you and your employer. Letters have been a very important part of the communication tradition. In fact letters were the first medium of distant conversation before the invention of telephone or mobile phones. A letter always carries with it a personal touch which none other can.
Similarly a cover letter gives you the access to have a personal talk with your employer. A cover letter can be written before an interview, after an interview, or after successfully availing a post in a company. A cover letter can also be written for other purposes like, acknowledging a job, negotiating salary before joining, for resignation and many purposes similar and different.
A thank you cover letter can be written under the following circumstances:
- To thank the employer for calling you for an interview.
- To thank the employer after an interview, for taking out time to meet.
- To thank the employer for offering you the post for which you had applied.
- To thank a referrer for his/her valuable suggestions that helped you in drafting your resume or for appearing in an interview.
Given below is an example of a sample thank you cover letter, which is written by a prospective candidate after encountering an interview with the employer

Dear Mr. Smith,
This is to thank you after the successful interview that we had yesterday. I am eagerly awaiting a positive reply from you so that I could offer my services to the most reputed school in the New York City. It was indeed nice meeting you. We had quite a fruitful talk. I was happy to find myself on the campus of such a highly reputed institution. The work atmosphere of the organization and the efficiency of the staff members have always been the talk of the town.
The interview with you gave me a chance to gauge how compatible my background, interest, and skill-sets are with the goals of the National School of Social Sciences. As we discussed during the interview, my experience as online faculty in Regional School of Social Sciences, has prepared me well for primary and secondary instructions.
Enclosed along with this is the copy of my experience certificates from my last employer. You can contact Mr. Dave Manning, online academic support coordinator, Regional School of Social Sciences, for the want of any clarifications.
I look forward to see you again pretty soon.
Sincerely,
Hilary Williams.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing this letter to express my sheer happiness that I experienced yesterday after the interview that I encountered. I cannot express my views in words. I really appreciate the amount of professionalism that I witnessed in the staffs of your organization. The interview really proved very beneficial for me. It was fruitful to a great extent in expanding my views regarding the profession of a teacher. I could pick up many valuable suggestions from our discussions.
Keeping in mind your busy schedule and the hectic time constraint I would not pull on the letter but come to the point now. I was really enticed by the work culture and atmosphere of your organization. I would really be privileged if I am considered suitable for your organization. It would be an honor to be a part of your organization and I would be really happy to contribute my experience and skills for the progress and development of the organization.
Once again thank you so much for yesterday's experience
