IT Cover Letter (T-Type)
An unconventional cover letter form is so called T-Type cover letter.
This cover letter lists job requirements and desired qualifications in one
column and your skills and experience in the adjacent column. This layout
give a quick and easy to read presentation of the match of your qualifications
to what the employer wants. It is clean, straightforward, and very
effective in many cases. T-type cover letter is best used when the job opening
give detailed requirements and qualifications, such as college degree, number of
years experience on specific tools and languages, professional certifications.
If your background matches most of the requirements or even exceeds desired
quantities, then T-type is perfect. Don't use T-type cover letter if there is
no detailed requirement list, or your qualification doesn't match well, or you
are over qualified.
