Writing A Cover Letter For A New Construction Job

When applying to a new construction job, your cover letter is the first thing an employer will read, even before a CV, so it is one of the most important things to get right!

The role of the cover letter is to highlight your main skills and experiences that match what the company is looking for in order to emphasize that you are right for the job.

There is no strict formula but there are some important things to remember when writing a cover letter.

Introduction

This sets the cover letter tone and focus and is the most important sentence of the whole thing. You need to provide a catchy start to encourage the reader to carry on. It should be brief, stating the construction job you are applying to and an explanation as to why you have applied for this role. You must address the letter to the individual if you have this information.

Main Body

This is your opportunity to match your skills, qualifications and experiences to that of the job you are applying. First, focus on the company"s needs and the actual role, explaining why you have applying to them. This shows you have done your research on the company and that you are tailoring the letter to them personally. Next, match these to your skills and abilities; show how you are right for the job and educate on your achievements. Try not to just regurgate your CV as they will come onto that after.

Closing Paragraph

End on a positive note and urge the reader to contact you. Mention when you may be available for interview and say you very much look forward to hearing from them. Sign it off professionally and sign and print your name.

Finally

Once you have written the letter, make sure that it is presented properly. Put your address on the top right hand side with the company"s address to the top left. Ensure your paragraphs are justified to the left and the font is consistent through. Keep it to one side of A4 and no more than 4 paragraphs long. Do a spell check and ask a friend to check through it.

The last thing to remember is that you must not mass-produce your cover letters. These will stand out a mile and will be thrown in the bin. Making sure it is written specifically for the construction job and company you are going for will be massively impressive!

Common Tests for Fertility in Men and Women

So you and your partner are eager to conceive your first born. However, try as you might, nothing has happened. It"s been months and close to a year and still, no baby is on the way.

That could be a sign of infertility and you and your partner need to take the tests for fertility.

Couples experiencing conception problem is anything but new. In fact, 12 percent of the reproductive age population is affected by infertility and approximately 7.3 million women and their partners in America are struggling to conceive. That is a staggering figure and it will continue to rise in the years to come if nothing can be done to minimize if not prevent the rampancy of the situation.

Fact is, both men and women are affected by infertility and it"s only fair that both should take the tests for fertility.

Here are the common tests for fertility in women:

• A blood test can be done to check the levels of your hormones. Hormones are important helpers of ovulation and fertilization. When your hormone levels are irregular, your fertility status can be at risk.


• A "dye test" or known as the Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is one of the tests for fertility where a dye is infected into the uterus and check to see if your fallopian tubes are clear and free from any abnormal growths. This can be done with the help of an x-ray machine.


• An operation to check for the development of endometriosis can be done and it is called Laparoscopy or Lap. An incision will be made on your navel and pubic hairline to check if there are any adhesions or malformations that are present.

Here are the common tests for fertility in men:

• A laboratory test called Sperm Agglutination is done to check if there is an occurrence of sperm clumping. When sperms are clumped or bundled together, motility is affected and sperms can not swim rapidly.


• A testicular biopsy is an option to examine the tubules in the testes and check if it is producing good quality sperm.


• Another one of the tests for fertility in men is called the Ultrasonography. This will help point out if any blockage is occurring in the reproductive tract including the prostate, seminal vesicles and ejaculatory ducts.


• If you are curious to find out if your sperm is capable of penetrating an egg, then you can undergo a sperm penetration assay. This is done with the help of a hamster egg. The male"s sperm is tested by its penetrating ability. This test is no longer commonly used these days.

If you suspect that you or your partner could be infertile, try the common tests for fertility to help put your mind at ease. This is also important so that you will be able to determine what methods to employ to correct your infertility problem if proven to have any.
