Having a few different types of samples will help you to apply for jobs quickly. Samples can be created to represent a few different scenarios. You will still have to tweak each sample at least slightly before you apply for a job. However, you will have to do much less tweaking if you have a number of different samples representing a few different scenarios. Some of the cover letters samples you want to have include samples for positions comparable to your current position and samples for positions a step up from your current job. You might even want to have a sample for a position for which you are overqualified. This way you are ready for any type of position that comes along. To start writing a sample for a position that would be a lateral move, focus on your current responsibilities. Make sure the sample really demonstrates how you are functioning in your current position. Try to avoid any mention of duties which are below your skill level. When writing cover letters samples for positions above your current rank be sure to include job responsibilities which are outside of your regular scope of work. Including this information should help to make it clear you are ready to take on more responsibility. You should also not neglect to have a sample of a cover letter for a lesser position available. Right now you may think you would never apply for such a position but you cannot know what the future holds. In some cases larger employers actually pay these lower level employees more than your current employer may be paying you or you may find yourself in a layoff situation.
