Can you read my cover letter and see it’s acceptable?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010
I’m looking for a job as a language teacher. Can someone read my cover letter and see if it’s OK?
Dear Mr.—
I would like to apply for a full-time position as a ——- teacher in your school.
I had five years’ experience working with middle-school students in — and over 10 years of experience teaching early childhood grades in both private and public schools in —. Now I want to work in a great high school. Your school has such a great reputation with both students and faculty that I want to join the team. I looked up your school web page and am aware of the requirements for a language teacher. I am confident in my ability to be a valuable asset to your school.
My greatest strengths include effective classroom management and building a student-centered community. Throughout the course of my career, I have also become proficient at designing data-based lesson plans. I constantly monitor individual students’ progress and utilize differentiated instructions to link learners with essential understandings and skills. As a result, my students have been able to reach their fullest potentials and achieve their educational goals.
I look forward to discussing with you how my qualifications would best meet the needs of your educational program. You can call me after 4:30 pm on weekdays or email me at your earliest convenience for an interview.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
My Name
Enclosure
The best thing I can tell you is to pretend that instead of writing a letter you are actually sitting with this potential employer and presenting yourself for this position. Keep it easy and conversationally formal.
Instead of breaking down your experience in your cover letter just address the fact that you have over 15 years experience teaching in grades ranging from early elementary through middle school in both the public and private sectors. And don’t be quite so flowing with the praise of his school. Be a little more professional with your praise. Certainly let him know that you are aware of his school’s fine reputation but you are trying to "sell" him on your reputation, he is already aware of his own.
As for outlining your qualifications, Just be very basic and give him the high points, you want to pique his interest, not bore him before he gets to your resume’.
As for your closing paragraph, don’t give him permission to call you…invite him to call and be a little more flexible with your contact times. He’s doing you the courtesy of calling and if you put limits on you availability he may view that as an inability to be responsible and structure time. As for the email part I would suggest you phrase it more like "If it would be more convenient for you, you can always contact me through my email to set something up."
Your ending shouldn’t sound quite so gratuitous. It should be more along the lines of "Thank you for your consideration in this matter and I do look forward to hearing from you"
Hope this helps some. Good luck with the job hunt!
Please help me with these questions?
