Simple and professional!

No job mindset has deterred so many people from taking bold steps. In the midst of no job, people are still getting jobs with good and reasonable pay.

If you cannot get a job then check your skill level. It may mean you don't have enough skill or you don't have at all. There are jobs out there, upgrade yourself, step out with positive attitude of getting one with boldness and you will be surprise that the only problem you have all these years / month of your waiting is yourself.

This cover letter may get you an interview but it's wrong to say it should get you a job.

Getting a job depends on many factors, a cover letter is just one of them.

The cover letter is good but would definitely not make a recruiter employ the person without having an interview or sampling other candidates.

Your cover letter has not addressed anything.

A good cover letter should explain to the prospective employer why you are the best option for the job.

It should pick up some of the requirements from the job advert and explain how and when you accomplish this, this will make you stand out.

Also, I would not use the word "rewarding". no employer is looking for money focused employee, especially when they have little or no experience for the job they are applying.

- sorry for any typo's

you have spoken well indeed very well. Although I commend the op for this initiative it can only be better. This cover letter looks quite generic and doesn't address the issues. Each application has to have its own detailed cover letter.

Thanks for sharing this @OP. God bless you yanfun-yanfun.

Employee Rights From Employers Under Labor Laws

It is important that we know our rights as employees. This article will guide you and give insights into what our entitlements are and what our employers are obligated to perform as their duty.

Perhaps you are just starting out on a new job and you have just resumed or you have been serving your employer for months or years now and you don't know what the law compels them to do for their employees, this list would help you.

I was ignorant about some of these things as a young graduate but now I know better. If after your months salary has been paid you noticed some deductions then meet with your HR for clarifications. Judge the environment before engaging the HR. Be smart.

List of things your employer owes you can be find below :

1) Your employer owes you a contract letter. This is a letter containing the terms of service, remuneration and other conditions that you have to consider before signing.

2) Your employer owes you a hand book. This is very important for you to understand the vision, mission, values, culture, the dos and don'ts of your company. Usually, no action should be taken against you without the handbook. It's like the constitution.

3) Pensions contribution . A monthly payment which is deducted from your account and added too from your employer to be paid into your account. This you must receive alert every month. Usually, it's from 7.5% above depending on your industry.

4) Health insurance . Your employer is required by law to get you a health insurance cover. The insurance is for basic health and in some cases pregnancy and surgery depending on your level. There is bronze, silver, gold etc. Usually, you should have a health card.

5) Tax card. Taxes are being deducted from your account monthly and credited into the tax commission of your state monthly. This is what shows you as a good citizen who pays his taxes. Usually, there is a tax card and it's very important if you want to transact with the government.

6) Mortgage contribution card. This is usually being deducted from your account monthly and paid into the FG account. You are entitled to a mortgage contribution card which serves as an evidence for when the opportunity for a housing scheme comes. It also helps to get you housing loans from government.

7) You are also entitled to a yearly 20 working days leave which could be used at the discretion of your line manager or company.

8. Your company owes you an ID card. Very important. This is what shows that you are associated with your organization.

9) Your employer by law has to provide you a conducive environment which is not only safe but good for your mental health void of abuse and harassment.

10) Lastly, your employer owes you your monthly salary.

This list is by no means exhaustive but for those who don't know, I hope I am able to help a little.

What did the law say about payoff when one resigns? How many months maximum after resignation are they suppose to pay you?

Nice!

good

The cover letter he put up there is for experienced applicants and that's what I was trying to portray.

Dm me your email address and I will forward a job advert and a typical response that should secure you an interview.

Exactly. there are different kinds of cover letter. OP did a good job by giving a sample, but there is more to it than that. Gone are the days of using just "Dear hiring manger or To whom it may concern" you have to be creative with your cover letter if you want to stand out from the rest.

Address the Letter to an Actual Person. There is no employee at the company you are applying to that his/her name is “To Whom it May Concern.” Avoid using this when addressing your letter, also avoid using the common “Dear Sir” or “Dear Ma”. Your letter should be addressed using the name of the recruiter or person of contact for the company.

Sample:

“Dear Mr. John”

“Dear Ms. Daniels”

If the advert does not include a name, you can head over to LinkedIn and do a People search using the company’s name as your search term. Browse through the list of people working there until you find someone who seems to be the hiring manager or an internal recruiter. Address your letter to that person, trust your effort will be noted and appreciated.
