A cover letter is your chance to make a good first impression with an employer and it is arguably more effective than a resume. Resumes are usually impersonal lists of experiences, education and achievements. Your cover letter allows you to tell an appealing story that provides a persona context for your resume. It allows you to make yourself stand out from the crowd of candidates, it provides you with the chance to convince a recruiter to read your resume and it lets you explain how, how to, your experiences fit the opening to which you are applying to.

Before starting to write a cover letter, you should be sure that you have carefully read the job description. Highlight qualifications and duties that relate to your profile and ensure that, if there are any gaps in your resume, you can explain them with your cover letter.

It is also important to research the organization which you are applying to and, if possible, the person who will be reviewing, how to, your resume. Your cover letter is your, how to, first chance to express how your profile matches up with that of the organization and make a, how to, personal connection with the hiring manager, how to, .

Your cover letter should be formatted clearly and professionally. Most cover letters are sent electronically. If they are sent as an attachment, you should format them as you would format professional correspondence. If they are sent in the body of an email, heading elements can be left out, as they may, how to, look odd.

The first, how to, paragraph should identify the position for which you are applying. Also, it should grab the hiring recruiter’s attention and make it clear that you are a great candidate for the position.

In your middle paragraph, you should focus on matching your qualifications to the requirements of, how to, the position. Include details, how to, about the organization you are applying to. This will not only make it clear that you are serious about the job and not sending out a form letter, but it will also make it easier for you to provide compelling arguments,, how to, how to, for how you can help the organization in reaching its goals.

Your final paragraph should accomplish four main goals. You should direct your readers to your resume, request an interview, indicate a time period during which you will get in touch with them and express your gratitude to them for their time and consideration.

Once you have written your letter, be sure to proofread it. Grammatical and spelling mistakes should be avoided at all costs. Get rid, how to, of colloquialisms and contractions. Your cover letter should be less than a page in length. Be succinct and clear; do not provide too many details. Also, make sure that your language is precise rather than vague. Tell the reader, how to, exactly what skills you have had that make you well-suited to the position, not merely that you have experience.

Ensure that your cover letter is professional-looking,, how to, and, if possible, matches your resume. Use a simple, clean font. If you are sending a standard, how to, letter rather than an email, use the same sort of paper as your resume. If you are sending an electronic version, use the recommended file format.

Write down the hints, how to, in a paragraph or two.
Start numbering events 1,2,3… and split up what events should happen in each chapter.

A chapter ends and another, how to, chapter begins when the events need no direct connectivity. Better look at it from a reader’s perspective rather than that of yours.
Go to sleep early! You need to be fresh and healthy on day-2 to begin.

Day-2-15: Writing-Really!

Write at least two to three chapters a day. Here is how you can do it:

Wake up at about six or seven or when you feel healthy and comfortable and feel enough of sleep.
Do not interfere with your Activities of Daily Living. You have to do them all correctly. Never skip meals or restrict water. You can use the ADLs as a break from your writing as your mind would be refreshed each time you come back to the pen/keyboard.
Start writing! Think of what the characters would do in the given situations and elaborate according to what they would speak and what they’d do.
Hopefully, you, how to, would feel sleepy sometimes as the brain is doing the work of more than one person at least. Take short naps in comfortable positions so that they’d, how to, help you recharge.

Write until you go to bed. Early again as your brain and body needs to be fresh and healthy for tomorrow’s writing.
Continue this until day 15 when hopefully you’d complete writing.

Day-16: Review

Read all that you have written from the beginning to the end. Hopefully you’d need four to five hours to read a book that has less than 25,000 words.
While doing so, correct the errors, how to, that are visible and now concentrate on the story and don’t deviate much into grammar, format, etc.
Watch carefully for discrepancies. (You really don’t want the reader to find that out and write to you someday saying, how to, that a dead character appeared to talk again in a later chapter).

Day-17: Grammar and Format

Read, how to, slowly and read as if you want to find fault with the book.
You should do this. No matter how great you are with the language. There might be typo errors or even some unthinkable errors that you did carelessly.
Watch carefully and correct any error that you come across.

Day-18: Take Rest

This is very important. You don’t need to get tired or, how to, become insane out of, how to, the hard brain work all these days.
You need to stay calm and do something that would make you entirely forget about what is inside the book that you had written, how to, .
This rest is a must so that you could spot any errors while reviewing on Day-19.

Day-19: Review Again

Read the story like a reader. Patiently. Take your time.
Feel the pleasure it gives and see if anything goes wrong anywhere with the content, format, or language.
This day, you will have to review completely and keep in mind that you are not going to do this again. Hence, how to, be a critic as well.

Day-20: Decorations and Indexing

This is the day you would decorate your manuscript (in your computer rather) and, how to, take care, how to, of highlighting, font changes, etc.
Then comes the, how to, page breaks, page numbers, title arrangement in every page, etc.
When you are done completely that you wont change the content from one page to another, start indexing.
(Optional) Create a wrapper if you don’t want your publisher to do that. There are a variety of freewares like Photoscape, GIMP, and Photoshop to help you out.
(Optional) You can even draw sketches and scan them and then work on them with the software that you like later.

You are done! Your dream novel is complete in 20 days!

Go ahead and publish it. Will talk about that in another article.
