Cover Letter Help
3 Answers
I am helping my fiance write a cover letter for his resume. He is applying for a Lake and Pond Technician. He has some back ground knowledge for the position as in he has built a aquatic turtle and iguana enclosure and very much enjoys things like this and is eager to get his foot in the door with something he loves. I am just unsure how to word it in the cover letter to the employer
The job states they are looking for a technician to control aquatic vegetation in and around lakes and ponds. Landscaping experience is a plus (which he has experience in) as well as a clean driving record (which he also has) They state it is a entry level position. He is looking to get into a great company that has room to grow so he can support our family while doing something he loves. I am just unsure how to add or word that he has an outside(?) hobby of something similar to what they do. Thank you for your help and time in advance. We really need this.

The covering letter is simply a formal application for the position, with the CV attached.
However it can be useful to emphasise in the covering letter any attributes/skills/qualities of the applicant that are particularly relevant to the job in question.
If any of the mandatory job requirements are not captured within the CV – consider amending the CV accordingly, otherwise state that you meet these requirements within the covering letter. If he has no qualifications/job experience relevant to the position, then stressing his hobbies/interest in these work activities can be included within the letter.
For example, it might be a requirement for this job that the applicant is a strong swimmer.
Once you have produced the cover letter, get friends/family to critique it; and check it carefully for spelling/grammar mistakes (such as an aquatic, not a aquatic).
