Cover letter for Real Estate
I have to write a cover letter by September 30 for this job post: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/rej/5231828309.html I've never written a cover letter. Does anyone have any tips and/or suggestions as to what I should include in it? I believe this is my best opportunity to gain entry into the real estate business. So, I'm not trying to blow it by a less than par cover letter.

@David White first off, sounds like you might not have experience related to the RE industry - that's OK. I'm sure you have some other skills that can be used for what they need. Write a letter explaining your past successes, explain HOW you can be an asset to their organization and prove it by examples with references. More so than anything, follow up within 48 hours of submitting the packaged info and highlight your sales skills through action - oh, and don't forget to close by asking them for the job.be confidant, bold, honest, and respectful. Good luck
