I just give you a cover later .

 

Dear hiring manager, 

 I have got your job posting on Big commerce Data Entry Project. According to your job description you need a fast worker for Big commerce Data entry . For your kind information I want to let you know that I have been working with these types of works for more than3 years. I am fully expert in Big commerce , web research, extracting email, data mining, Google, Bing, Yahoo, MS Office (Full), Google Docs, Google Document, Google Spreadsheet, Adwords, Analytics, Webmaster, SEO, SMM, SEM, B2B Marketing, Lead Generation, Directory and other related programs. I can assure you that I will be able to submit your task in time with quality work. I am waiting to be hired in this project to show my skills.

 

Regards ,

Is that a good cover letter? Never use "Dear hiring manager" in a cover letter. How do you know they are a hiring manager? And as a freelancer and a client i never hire a person who write hiring manager.

 

Best regards

Thank you for your information!

However, how should we address the person who will receive our proposal then? According to my experience, we don't know the name of the client representative until we submit the proposal but then we cannot re-edit the cover letter after that.

I feel a little confused every time I submit a proposal

I have used Dear Hiring Manager and it works for me.
Hiring Manager means the person who posted that particular job and so she/he wants to hire someone.
It is like a temporary title that only applies to that anonymous person managing the applicants list.

 

Zhe C, you can suggest a better way so that we benefit here.

Thanks

Instead of focusing on what to call the potential client, I think you can show your proficiency and maybe grab the client's attention by going through their job history feedbacks. It's a neat trick to be able to address them with their own name. I'm not saying it's going to guarantee you the job, but it will show that you are detail-oriented and you clearly know your way around the web.

 

Here's an example cover letter I did. I'm not saying this is perfect (no one is) but it does set you apart.

 

The three things I'd like you to see as takeaways from this are: 

 

  1. Be creative, the first few words should get your client's attention.
  2. Be honest (and humble), show the client what you're bringing to the table and answer guide questions in your head like "Why should I hire you?"
  3. Be polite. You don't have to beg, in the end, it's all going to be up to the client to find the best fit for them but knowing you sold yourself as best as you can will give you the peace of mind to keep trying.

Hi Ronald,

 

You're probably wondering how I know your name, so let's clear that one out. No, I did not stalk you 🙂 I read your job posting feedbacks from the past year because I wanted to let you know that I'm interested to work with you as a personal virtual assistant.

 

I've worked as an SEO consultant and customer relations specialist last year. During my tenure with my previous employer, I maintained relationship with my client's clients and did various administrative tasks on top of hiring and managing writers, conceptualizing blog articles, and securing various guest posting opportunities.

 

What I'm bringing to you as a possible virtual assistant is my great attention to detail and problem solving skills. My priority would be to help you do the things you need to do without constantly worrying about other time consuming tasks like scheduling social media posts through Hootsuite or Buffer, preparing text graphics with Canva and other similar platforms, and replying to your customers and clients through email, social media, and any other form.

 

To top it all off, I'm also very much eager to adapt with you as we go through all the other possible tasks you would need me to accomplish. I'm a quick learner and a very positive person.

 

All the best,

 

Vaughn Reyna

If we don't know the person we address in a letter, then it's always 'Dear Sir or Madam'.

 

I recall to have learnt this in primary school.

sometimes we know the name of the client if we see his/her feedback.

Sometimes, I found the client's name in their feedbacks but if none I still used "Hiring Manager" just to address them properly.

you can look at clients feedback to know the name.

The better approach is to view the client's job history. There sometimes you can find the name of the client.
For example when freelancer ends the contract he will give the feedback like this "Thanks Jhon, Nice to work with you."
I can moslty find the name of clients by viewing the job history.

You can start your cover letter by just "Hello" and then write the proposal if you don't know the client's name and gender. "Dear Client" is also good to use for the client who are new at upwork and don't have any job history.

It always works for me. I can almost get 7 jobs out of 10 by using this method.

May this helps you.

Thanks.

HI

 

 

I was referring to non freelancer jobs outsie upwork.. I thought this is what the question was about..Many Frfeelancers are still oooking for a good job in their are of experetise.

 

 But your are exactly right. Skills fit is important. I have often chosen first timers based on the fact that they actually read my advertisement and addressed it the best thy could. I bypass anyone who says I have the skills you require and do not tell me what they are. 

Cheers

its possible to know the name of client before applying to any job, just view in full page job posting and then check his/her reviews to freelancer and freelancer gives also review about client and their response so they call client by their name in the review. i hope it will help you in your nect job proposals.

Hi , thanks . I learn it .

I usually search for previous feedback to the client. In most cases freelancers mention the client's name (first at least) in their comments (like "Anna was a this and that client") and that is my way of sourcing the recipient. When no results are returned, I stick with "To whom it may concern" which is quite more formal than "Dear Sir/Madam" but I like it better. 

Just my 2 cents

I alway use "Dear Hiring Manager" and I've never had any issues. 

 

 

That is fine. Did you get an interview?  A good cover letter has many components including your skills match,  what they are asking for.   If people don't give their company or name there is little you can do about it.

good luck

Thank you very much for your input, indeed I am new and I need you to help me because I can't get my first job I also need a sample cover letter for data entry operator and administrative assistant.

Creating better freelancer

 Md Ibbrahim H,

 

         This example of a cover letter was great read. For three days I have been thinking on how I can type and write a more effective cover letter. Now I have three bullets from your post, so thank you for your skills and I will remember you when I become successful in the freelancing business. 

I really got a clique from your "Hiring Manager". 😉

I would also want to do a little research and know the client's name it makes it easy to for the client to relate.

A good example to get the idea for a winning proposal.

 

Bakhtier:

 

That is not how this works. We can't send you a cover letter for you to copy and paste and send to clients. That is spam.

 

Each cover letter should be unique, written by you, to explain how you will help the client with that particular job.

 

The topic of cover letters has been discussed  extensively in the Forum. Do a search and read some of the threads that are available.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I didn't want a cover letter to be sent to me to copy and paste and send to clients, I just wanted some ideas.

However, by this time, I have known many things to write a unique cover letter.

 

Have a great time ahead!

you can follow

Dear Hiring Manager,
 I am very interested in your job post involving these skills.I have good experience in data entry, web research, Google documents and MS Office.
My typing speed is more than 50 words per minute. I believe my skills would be ideal for your project.
I can complete this job within the required time period.
thank you
your name

Sorry, but never never use Hiring Manager or Dear Client.  Use the name in the advertisement. Go to great lenghths to find out who you should address the letter to. As a HRM I wouldn't look further than the salutation. I would bin the letter. Also repeat the criteria they require to show that you are actually have the skills. The employer must know that you are writing direct to him or her and not just using a standard letter. Research, Research research. Don't be lazy. Three well researched letters are better than 100 empty lazy letters. .Try using some of the resources in www.proactivehrm.com  The site is so old it may not show up well but content still up to date.

Good

 

You have set out your skills which presumeably the employer has asked for.

Dear Client, 

I am really happy to see a job posting which is very much related to what I have been doing for the past years. I feel I am well suited to exceed your expectation, not only do I appear to meet your exact needs but the position I always sought and firmly believe that I will thrive in. 

I have been a lead researcher of a UK and US base company which honed my skills with regards to lead generation and data mining which includes cold calls and email management/handling. I have mastered ways of gathering leads from social media and ads platform down to the deepest result of every search engines. I am so much confident to do the task with the team and really hoping to be a part of the team. 

Kind Regards,
