How to Write a Cover Letter to Your Tutoring Position Job
How to Write a Cover Letter to Your Tutoring Position JobIt's a shame that the tutoring jobs you apply for are rejected because of a lack of a cover letter. The reason is that your cover letter is the most important document you submit in your cover letter, and there are many people who either do not understand this, or don't care. They see that your cover letter does the job of your resume (well, it shouldn't), and they do not think to revise it. Let me explain what to do with your cover letter, and why it's so important.Your cover letter should start with what is known as a 'hook'. This is a good place to start if you have any questions or concerns about the position. But this must be taken a bit further than that. Since your cover letter is to help the hiring manager to find out what you are about, it must provide positive proof of your abilities. A common problem is to start your cover letter by saying how much they would be impressed with you, and then go on to say why they shou ld hire you, and what will make you a good fit for the tutoring position.This does not give the impression of a person who is comfortable with who they are and leaves a poor impression. The last thing you want is to be the first one hired to the position. A good cover letter is something that can provide some form of evidence of you as an employee, and a reason why someone should consider you for this position. People remember those who show they are trustworthy, and those who show a lack of honesty.When writing your cover letter, try to build a relationship with the hiring manager. Give them information they need, and give a reason why they should hire you. Let them know about your abilities, and build a rapport. This is where the quality of your cover letter begins to shine through.Make sure you get feedback about your teaching abilities from the instructor before you are interviewed, and include the opportunity to get feedback. This is the best way to see if you are doing a good job, and if you are really confident in what you are doing. You will want to make sure you have all the information that the position requires. With this in mind, and with the skills you have gained, go back and edit your cover letter to be more professional. It is best to send the cover letter with a handwritten draft to the hiring manager for approval, but if you are so confident in your abilities, you may even send the original cover letter.Never send your resume to be reviewed until you have received the position. Do not begin sending it until you have received confirmation that you will be interviewed, and the date of the interview. There will be people reviewing your cover letter, and it's your responsibility to ensure that you do not over deliver on your skill set, or otherwise put yourself at risk.In conclusion, your cover letter is the first thing people see when they open your application. Be sure to tailor your cover letter to what you need it to be, so it will stand out from the rest. It must be written in a professional, but easy to read manner. It should also include a good sample of your skills, and a simple explanation of why the hiring manager should hire you.
