HOW TO WRITE A COVER LETTER (2)

No matter how many you write, every cover letter should be different. Each one should be tailored to the job you are applying for. So before you start writing, find out some information about the job and the establishment. Then you'll know what the company values and which skills and experience your letter should focus on.

Following the opening paragraph, you can discuss the relevant experiences listed in your resume. You can give in-depth details about why your skills fit the company's needs. Talking about your background and skills shouldn't take more than a couple of paragraphs. Form there, you can move to the closing of your letter.

It's important to end on a strong note. In these last lines, you should echo why you are a great fit. Then follow up with a polite request for an interview. This shows you are excited about the job and keen to get to work.

So, with these steps in mind, get writing. It may get you that interview!

Topic: rank and file 組織內的一般成員

Hello Friends, welcome to info cloud. Our founder Doris, is loved by so many people in Asia,  including myself. I know Rex does, too. What do you love about Doris?

She just makes people feel warm. I think her message of love really speaks to the rank and file of society. 

Did you say rank and file? That's a difficult expression to understand. Can you explain that to our friends?

It's not difficult at all. Since most of us are rank and file, it refers to ordinary people who are not in positions of power.

So you and I are considered rank and file because we are not leaders of this organization. 

Yes. So for our founder Doris, she is definitely not rank and file because she is our leader. 

That's a really interesting expression. 

Rank and file was originally a military term that refers to the soldiers that are lined up squarely in front of their commanding officers. 

Oh, so that's why we can call people who are not in leadership positions rank and file.
