Cover Letter Samples: TWO "Magic Words" Can Attract Job Interviews Like A Magnet

I'm going to give you a huge cover letter secret in the form of two "magic words" that can attract job interviews like a magnet.

First, I'm going to tell you. Then I'm going to present you with some cover letter samples that put these two "magic words" to work so you can see exactly how to use them in your own cover letter.

FACT: Every single human being on the planet desires appreciation and acknowledgement.

Unfortunately, many job seekers forget about this while trying to impress hiring mangers with their skills, talents, and experience. While it's important to showcase the qualities you bring to the table, it's just as important to put these two "magic words" to work for you.

They are––very simply––THANK YOU. And this works even better if you open and close each cover letter with sincere gratitude.

Here is a list of cover letter samples we've written that illustrate this perfectly:

And here are a few snippets you can swipe and use in your own cover letters. Make sure to modify the wording to suit your unique personality.

"Magic Words" Sample #1:

Dear (Name Of Manager):

OPENING: Thank you for taking your valuable time to read my cover letter. I appreciate you posting the administrative assistant job listing in the local paper.

CLOSING: Again, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to express my interest in the position, and to show you the skills I bring to the table. Thank you. I look forward to speaking with you in person.

"Magic Words" Sample #2:

Dear (Name Of Manager):

OPENING: I read the job opening you posted in the local paper for an executive accountant. Thank you so much for clearly describing the expectations and tasks required for this position.

CLOSING: I really appreciate you taking the time to review my resume and cover letter. Thank you very much. I am looking forward to interviewing for this position. It will be a sincere pleasure to meet and speak with you in person about how I can fill the job and fit into your company.

Conclusion:

Yes, the body of your resume is extremely important. Just remember that the best way to gain interest in the first sentence, and to leave the hiring manager feeling good about you at the end of the letter, is to open and close with a real "THANK YOU".
