As soon as you check a job opportunity, you start applying for it. You have your resume ready, you send it after adding some words in email. Do you think it is a good idea? Of course, not. A hasty style application diminishes your chance of getting a job. So, please don't send your resume only to the application. You need to put in some effort. Remember, the job market is competitive, you can't get a job until you add some effort. Sending a resume only won't work, you need to craft an eye-catching cover letter. Before you create one, I would like to share some cover letter writing tips for your assistance. 

Avoid Repetition

Your resume and cover letter are two different documents. Some people rehash their resume in a cover letter, which is another bad idea to avoid at any cost. You won't have to do it. It's wrong. Keep your cover letter separate. You have added some skills in the resume, and added some others in the cover letter. It might seem quite simple to copy-paste objective statements in the cover letter but again it's not helpful. 

You will have to create four paragraphs in which you will give your professional life introduction. It's not just the intro but you also also have to sell your skills and talent.

Explain Gap and Other issues

Did you take a break during work? When an employer will review your Israeli-Style CV, he will notice an employment gap. So, in your cover letter you will have to explain this gap clearly. Some people don't like to stay on a job for a long time. Employers don't like such people but if you are that kind, explain how you try to be as versatile as you can about your career. Another point that can be an issue in your resume is your career change. If you have made a change, don't worry, many do. But please explain it a bit in your cover letter.

Write a new Cover letter for Every Job

You think that you are applying for the same position so sending the same resume and cover letter is easy and simple. Trust me, it's easy but won't work for you. Every company has different job requirements, some companies like a content manager to research it while others only want to assign managerial roles.

If you want to send a job-winning application for Israel, please read the job description and highlight main points such as requirements, skills, and experience. You need to mention the same things in your cover letter. Do you wonder why? Well, your cover letter must show some similar things so you are considered as "The best Fit" for the company.

Brag A little

I am not asking you to brag too much but a little much of it won't hurt you. When you have done something great in your past, it's time to tell your employer how capable you are. It's more like selling a product with the best and outstanding features. Shed light on your achievements and share the whole story of past success. You need to tell your employer that you are quite proud of those achievements.

 The purpose of mentioning them is to explain that you will do the same for your current employer.However, don't add false facts or stay away from exaggeration, it won't set a good impression.

Give it a Personal Touch

It's good to research about the company and recruiter. You can easily find such details from social media. Suppose your interests match with the recruiter, there is no harm in mentioning them in the opening line. It's a way of getting attention from employers. When he will notice that you have done your research and put some effort in your application then he would be interested in hiring you.

Keep it Concise

Don't add too many details. You may have achieved a lot but keep every single information relevant and to-the-point. A recruiter won't have time to read it completely. So, you better explain a few things but ensure that your cover letter is meaningful for the job.

Don’t Extend length

You need to send a one page cover letter, it should not be too lengthy. Employers don’t like to reach too much. It’s vital that you share it all in a few details. The format of your Israel cover letter is to share an introduction and then talk about skills and professional achievement in the second and third paragraph.

Wrap Up

Before you start writing an Israel cover letter, it is important to follow all these tips. They will help you design the right format of letter and send a letter that would work for you.
