Chief Librarian Cover LetterA librarian is a person who is in charge of the library and in the maintenance of library records. This can include books, customer information, book log, membership records, etc. A person who is a qualified librarian only, can apply for such a post. He or she should hold a degree in Library Science. Apart from this, there are certain skills which such an applicant can posses. A cover letter for a librarian should not contain too many details about the applicant regarding this post. Only the important facets of a library should be mentioned in the cover letter. The resume is an attachment to the cover letter and this should include the details of the applicant's qualification and experiences if any. For a fresher who does not have any experience as a librarian can highlight the skills and abilities which can be useful as a librarian. Given below are two sample cover letters. The first cover letter is drafted by an experienced candidate who has worked as a librarian before. Let us take a look at this resume as given below: Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Dear Mr. Kent, The accompanying resume is in response to your advertisement I found on monster.com for want of a Librarian. I consider that my credentials and interests match with your requirements, and therefore, want to apply for the same. I have acquired a master's degree in library science from the University of Chicago, and have even worked for National Library for the last five years as a chief librarian. During my tenure, I had made various changes in the working of the library. Some of the plans which were completed under my supervision include:
Though I am enjoying my current work, I am very much looking out for new opportunities in the same field. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how my education and experience will be helpful to you. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Enclosure: Resume. Now, that we have seen a cover letter drafted by an experienced applicant, here is how a fresher can draft one. It is as follows: Mrs. Greta Garbo 02 September 2011. Mr. Harry Jackman Dear Mr. Jackman, I came to know of your requirement for the post of a part time librarian on jobsjustforyou.com website. I was looking for a similar job, as it suits my qualification and my schedule too. I have already achieved a degree in Library Sciences and am pursing further education in Masters' degree. I am planning to continue my Masters from the South Carolina University with specialization in English literature and French. I wish to meet my own educational expenses and there is no better opportunity than working in your library. If need be, I may also handle your stationery workshop on weekends. Although, I do not have any outside experience in handling a library, I am quite aware of how they function. This is because I had prepared a database management system for our college library. And this is being successfully used right now. I am called at certain intervals to see how this online database management works. This has given me enough ideas for creating alterations in the necessary areas. I can assure you that I can develop similar and better software for your library as well. This will not only enhance the working of the library, but also fasten the approach. I also have exceptionally excellent management and organizational skills. I am grateful to you for devoting your time for my application, and will want to discuss my eligibility for the job further. I am planning to come down to Charleston next week, and you can schedule our meeting likewise. You can call me on my mobile number anytime. Thanking you, Sincerely, Mr. Harry Jackman Enclosure: Resume | |
