Efficient Way to Get a Job Interview
Introduction
While almost everyone is aware of the importance of a CV when looking for a job, few are aware of the critical role that an accompanying cover letter plays in the decision-making process. In fact, your cover letter is equally as important as your resume in terms of your job search.

Consider this:
Specialists and leaders routinely receive dozens, if not hundreds, of applications for each open post. Questioners don't have a lot of time to assess whether you're qualified for the job because there are so many people to interview. Indeed, a spotter will often spend between one and two minutes quickly reviewing a CV, hardly enough time to determine whether your skillset and expertise are a good match for the job.
This is why a cover letter is such an important element of the job search process. The cover letter's purpose is to clearly express your advantage in and capabilities for a circumstance to a potential business partner. While your CV is a general notice, your introduction letter tailors your application to each specific job. You are assisting the enrollment expert in matching up your skills to that of the available position by condensing your resume into core concerns and leading the recruiter to notice the most appropriate areas of your experience. Furthermore, by removing the element of surprise from your resume, you greatly improve your chances of being called for an interview.
A cover letter should "present" your qualities to a stranger and persuade them that you are worthy of a face-to-face encounter. As you may imagine, it's far from a straightforward archive to put together. However, there are a few guidelines that could assist you in improving your cover letter.
A cover letter is usually one page long and contains four main sections: a presentation, a summary of your qualifications, a summary of why you are interested in the position, and a conclusion. Do some research about the company and the position for which you are applying before you start reiterating your skills. This will give you a better understanding of the company's products or services, history, attributes, and target customer market. This will help you get a better idea of what enrollment experts are looking for in an application and allow you to design your introduction letter accordingly.
The first section is titled "Introduction"
Your cover letter should be sent to the recruitment administrator as soon as possible.
Make a note of the position(s) you're looking for.
Tell the scout how you learned about the job. Make sure to provide this information if you saw the opportunity advertised or were referred to it by someone.
Immediately catch the attention of the reader and activate their advantage in you!!
Section 2 – Your Qualifications in Brief:
For the position you're applying for, highlight your most practical skills. Make sure to limit your talents to those that are most relevant to the role.
Show, not simply tell, the administrator your talents by offering specific, reliable models from your previous experience.
Measure these talents whenever possible by focusing on relevant numbers, activities, grants, and equipment you've used in the past that are relevant to the task you require. Instead of highlighting your "excellent client service skills," indicate that you "achieved a 98 percent customer loyalty rating" or "increased office deals by 25 percent in the first quarter."
Section 3: Why are you interested in the job?
Explain why you need to work for their company to the evaluating staff. What is it about the organization that makes you want to help them?
What makes this particular role appealing to you?
Demonstrate why you are a good fit for the company. How can you contribute to the group as a resource?
Section 4 – Concluding Remarks and Suggestions:
Mention your zipped resume to managers so they may go into your qualifications in further depth.
Obtain a one-on-one meeting or a meeting with the recruitment director.
Indicate how the selection representative should contact you. Make sure you provide a working phone number or email address.
Give yourself an opportunity to follow up. Show that you "will call to circle back to Monday evening," for example.

Conclusion
Last but not least, your cover letter will provide HR with their first impression of you. A strong, well-centered letter may provide a fantastic, favorable first impression. A flimsy, non-centered letter, on the other hand, can eliminate any scout's interest in your talents, regardless of how good a fit you are for the job. Before sending any letter, make sure you proofread it thoroughly for grammatical and misspellings errors.
Definitely the first impression is us, when we arrive in a polite and confident manner and all the items you describe are very valid tips to get the job we are looking for.
thank you for this contribution
Indeed all elements are important to get every job you qualify for.

Hi @lennyblogs
This cover letter thing I assume is handled in the corporate world but on a large scale. The truth is that where I live, on this side of the world is basically handled is referrals, ie, someone I know calls via phone to a person who is looking for someone for a certain job, and that's it.
But I assume that in other areas it may have more importance.
Well phone calls are simple and I guess not enough to show how good the person is sinve many other factors reflex his personality and if he has the quality for such jobs.
Thanks for reading through!
