How to Write a Positive Cover Letter Quick and Easy

Amazing Cover Letter Creator

Many job-seekers miss the opportunity to get past first base when it comes to landing the job of their dreams. What holds them back? A negative attitude reflected in their cover letter to potential employers.

Negative Thoughts Lead to Negative Actions!

They may feel bitter about how their former employment ended, or angry toward a previous business colleague, or hurt by an experience with a boss. Negativity, however, drains energy, shuts down healthy emotions, and keeps one stuck. Even if you don't complain outright, a hiring manager can pick up a bad attitude by reading between the lines.

You can overcome this block by looking up, walking on the sunny side of the street, finding good things to say about yourself and others, and trusting that everything works out for the best—even when you can't yet see the outcome.

Therefore, replace your negative thoughts with positive ones, even when you don't feel like it. Then write a cover letter that sparkles with possibility and 'positivity' and see how the very act itself can transform your attitude.

Following are some positive ways to frame your cover letter so a hiring manager will sit up and take notice—and then contact you for an interview that could lead to the job you've been dreaming about.

Positively, Absolutely!

• Thank you for posting your opening for a position in management on JobSearchersDream.com. This is the exact position I'm looking for and I'd love the opportunity to interview for it.

• I've heard nothing but encouraging comments from two of your employees about the excellent working conditions at ABC Enterprises. It would be an honor to join your family of employees.

• I am eager to meet with you in person to discuss what you're looking for in an administration assistant. I believe I'm an excellent match for this position and would like to interview for this opening.

• Based on my performance at my previous employment I can assure you that I will bring to this job enthusiasm, experience, and excellence.

Think and ACT positively. Employers respond to enthusiasm and positivity!
