There are tremendous job opportunities for technical instructors. If you really want to grab one of those opportunities, then it is compulsory to draft a cover letter to ensure that your resume is read, and you receive a call from the employer.
The technical training instructor cover letter should follow a particular format. It should include your personal information at the top of the letter, preferably centered-aligned. The receiver of the letter should know how to contact you by reading your name, address, contact number and email address.
Include the date and the receiver's address after your personal information. Address it to the person who can consider your application. The cover letter should land in the hand of the person responsible for hiring.
Start the letter with 'Dear' and the last name of the person whom the letter is sent. If the name is not known, then use 'sir,' or 'madam'. However, beware of the names that are used for both males and females. Otherwise, it will be quite embarrassing for the reader to read it.
Let the recipient know at the beginning of the body paragraph which job position you are applying for, and how did you learn about it. State that your skills and experience are matching with the job position, and refer to your attached resume.
The following paragraph will explain the reader why you feel yourself as the right candidate for the job. Include a summary of the relevant skills and experience that suits with the job. Ensure that you are not adding the same thing that is in your resume. Customize it according to the job requirements.
Next paragraph should request the reader for an interview. State how and at what time you are reachable. You can inform about your follow-up plan as well. Lastly, thank the reader for reading your application, and express your interest in joining the company.
