Dozens of new cover letter templates have been added to the website CoverLetterExamples.net, and they're all free to download and customize for personal use.
"Many of the sample letters at CoverLetterExamples.net are intended to complement a job seeker's resume," explained Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "But there's also a large selection of letters for business, legal and personal matters."
There are now 243 templates at the site. The resume cover letters selection now includes templates with wording for applying for: a job abroad, a nanny role and "any available position." Other letters address maternity leave, a stay-at-home parent returning to the workforce, applicants with criminal backgrounds, and a former intern. Another new cover letter is designed for cases when there's no position being advertised. There's also an example letter for someone seeking short-term work as well as one for a person wishing to "job shadow" a worker.
CoverLetterExamples.net has letters for those aiming to buy or rent a home. Another suggests wording for applying to serve on a board of directors. Other templates are designed to accompany an affidavit and an art gallery submission.
The site also has articles with tips about how to write cover letters.
"These letters can be used as-is, but really they're best as a jumping-off point, helping users find the wording that best suits their situation," Savetz said.
The letters are all free to download and print in DOC (Microsoft Word) format, or the text can be cut and pasted directly from the site.
There are nearly 100 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
