Cover Letter Magic: 4 Ways To ASK For The Job Interview - And Get It!

By: Jimmy Sweeney



Just how important it is to ASK for the job interview clearly
and directly in your cover letter?

IT'S EVERYTHING!

So the question remains: how effectively are you ASKING? The
following four ways will help you nail down many more job
interviews. Try them all and see which ones work best for you.

FOUR Surefire Ways To Effectively Ask For The Job Interview In
Your Cover Letter

1. Attract attention with a great headline using Bold Title Caps
right below the greeting in your cover letter.

May We Meet In Person To Discuss This Position?

2. Focus on your qualifications in the beginning of your letter.

I feel confident I'm one of the applicants best suited for this
position. I'd welcome the opportunity to meet you in person so
we can discuss how I might best be suited to help [company
name]. Here are some of the responsibilities I've held over the
past five years.

3. Be specific about time in your final paragraph. 

I'd like to schedule an interview with you in the next two
weeks. What day and time work best for you? I promise to keep
our meeting short and specific. 

4. Communicate enthusiasm at the end of your letter.

I'm excited about meeting you in person to discuss my
qualifications. You can reach me immediately on my cell phone:
555-555-5555. Thanks again for your time. Give up the "wait and
hope" job search technique. Use the “ask for the interview”
method instead and you will land quality meetings that bring
results! Take charge of your future now by asking for what you
want.
