Upwork Cover Letter Sample for Facebook Page Management


Upwork Cover Letter Sample for Facebook Page Management
This cover letter is a great example if you want to apply for a virtual assistant to manage Facebook page. This cover letter is just a sample, and you can modify it as per your requirements. Sometime my sample cover letter gets long (just with the aim to provide a sample), but when writing your real cover letter, try to keep it short, as the client don’t like to read long cover letters.


Dear hiring manager!
You job post caught my attention where you required the skills of virtual assistant to manage a Facebook page. Let me tell you that I have have managed few Facebook pages in the past and I have satisfied the clients, with my skills. I have good experience in Facebook page management. Below are some of the important factors that I learnt about and hopefully, these factors might be answers to the questions that might arise in your mind to ask me in your reply to this message.

  • From my experience I have learned that 3 to 5 updates per week are enough amount to maintain the presence of post on the user’s wall.
  • If the company who own’s the page has some new product(s) to launch or some promotion is running then update the Facebook page more often, just so long as the content is of interest to the  page’s followers.
  • A good advice is never to update the Facebook page more than 5 times a day, otherwise you are wandering into a spam territory.
  • Timing is also an important factor to consider before posting anything.
  • I have noticed that images are the most visited part of a Facebook page.
  • Don’t promote your brand and company, Facebook is a social platform and you need to be sociable and interact with your page’s followers, not just push content at them.
  • Talk to the Facebook page’s followers and show interest in their comments.
  • Respond to followers’ comments regularly and quickly, this will make them engage with your page.
  • Avoid posting press releases.


These are the skills I have about managing Facebook page, and you can also review my portfolio and profile. Review the feedbacks of my past clients and you will come to know about my skills. I am mostly available through Skype, where we can discuss in an efficient way.

Regards: (Your Name Here...)

That’s the end of cover letter, and it can be improved more, and you can also suggest improvements in the comments, so that I can update it.

Thanks for ready my sample cover letter, and don’t forget to post comments.

What is Upwork Cover Letter

Today we will be discussing oDesk cover letters when they should be used and what to include in them. An oDesk cover letter is a short letter two to three paragraphs which accompanies a resume, curriculum vitae or application. The cover letter serves as an introduction to a potential employer and has the potential of adding to the limit amount of time given to the reading about application materials. A cover letter serves several purposes. In addition to introduction to a potential employer, it indicates an interest in the position of employment by responding to a known job openin. The cover letter has very little time or space to engage the reader so focus on visual elements in content is very important. Visually it should be formatted to appear consistent with any other application material. Additionally, the content of letter should express the most important information as really as possible.


Almost all positions in oDesk will require cover letter. The cover letter serves as a valuable tool to present your voice while submitting material. An oDesk cover letter typically includes:
  • Objective
  • Profile,
  • Call to action
and ways of quick communication. You make sure you can respond to any contact within 24 hours, or as quickly as possible, in order to win the job quickly.


Objective:
Objective is a short sentence describing the position of interest. It should be included in the introduction to the letter explaining the reason for writing to potential employer, the position you are interested in and the method in which you found about the position opening.


Profile:
Profile is a short statement of skills and achievement which encourages for the reading. It should be presented in the form of a short paragraph with a goal of encouraging the potential employer to read additional materials.


Call to Action:

Finally the call to action is the conclusion of letter. Let the potential employer know that you plan to follow up the phone call or email message as soon as possible, or you can follow up immediately, which is better to do.

I have posted sample cover letter for almost all positions in oDesk, which you can browse through in my blog. Some of the popular oDesk cover letters are below.

Difference between Elance and Odesk

As it is era of computer, everyone finding easy to use and effective ways in every fields of life, trend of working online is more approachable and efficient. Many of websites proving themselves as a source of finding work online but Elance and Odesk are largest online planets, giving opportunity to market placers meet the rightly required work force and vice versa. Both are performing their role in a right way, although there is specific kind of difference between their strength n weaknesses because of the difference of motive and management.

Basic operating systems:
When difference in both sites is concerned, Odesk is very widely spread and easily accessible but there is no process for keeping the money safe. Sometimes when clients pay early contractor seems to disappear and sometimes when quality work is done clients are lost without paying the worker. Because they do not use Escrow systems like Elance. Odesk is very workers friendly because it is free of cost to bid (in specific quantity) in any category whereas by using Elance for free one can get only access to basic users and can bid to some of the categories. To place your bids for more jobs there is fee.

Job opportunities:
By using Odesk job opportunities rely on profile completion and feedback given by previous company and a bit on self test taking about skills one possess. On Elance, monthly bid is maximum 15 with the completion of basic information about applicant.

Meeting needs:
One will easily know this by using Odesk, clients (company) can get thousands of contractors (freelancers) for very low cost from all around the world. Odesk aims to provide jobs on very small bids. But here the main issue arises, once a project is posted, company will get number of applicants there so it is hard to refine the list and pick up deserving and required. This site some times overview the quality of work. So it is most possible that one might not get quality work here. But work completion is assured.
On Elance due to shortage of bid company may get specific list of workers which makes it possible to choose the right one.

 Facilitation provided to users:
Another main difference between both is their tracking system. Odesk have a reliable tracking system with screen shots of work. Although Elance also facilitate you with tracking time and work but it is with out screen shots and not much reliable as Odesk.

Upwork Cover Letter Samples (Free)

How to Get First Upwork Job Easily

Being one of the most competitive freelancer’s marketplaces, odesk is a good way to go for entry level freelancers. But in order to get your first job as a freelancer, there are a number of vital steps that you need to follow. Remember that clients are looking for the best talent that is cost effective to get their work done. So if you play your cards right, you are guaranteed to get that first job. What many entry level freelancers don’t know is that after signing up, you need to complete your profile before you can bid for any job. Below is a discussion of steps to follow after signing up.

Take the oDesk tests

The oDesk tests are meant to show your level of knowledge regarding a particular field. Whether the readiness or the skills test, ensure that you scope the best marks. Your performance is used by the buyers to gauge how well you understand that field.

Complete your profile

The profile of a freelancer his or her heart on odesk . Therefore you have to ensure that the profile is as complete as possible.  Add the necessary title, experience, and past responsibilities. Ensure that your profile is catchy in order to attract buyers. Poor profile will always lead to big hustle before getting the first job.

Add portfolio

Add your previous work so that the buyer can see that you got some experience. Remember experience beats all. If you have no previous work, just proceed but remember to add the portfolio when you are done on the first task.

Bid for the first job

Since now you are ready on the pitch, bid for the first job that is relevant to where you fit. Ensure that you meet all the employer needs before bidding. Be average when bidding. Very low bids will create an image inexperience which is bad. Too high bids are also not what the employers want.

Bid Quickly on Fresh Jobs

According to my experience, bid quickly on fresh jobs, where there isn't a lot of bids. If there are already tens of bids on a job, it is too hard to win that job, as the client mostly look at the initial bidders, and the old latter applications are mostly waste. But this is not always true case, I am just sharing my experience. I have faced this situation most of the time.

Cover letter

Write a catchy cover letter that that tells the employer that you are ready to sell your services to him or her. Ensure that the letter is not copied and include all what the employer needs. You may also attach some of your past work so that the employer can gauge your ability.

Communication

Ensure that you keep in touch with the employer and keep checking for any active candidacy or invitation to interview. Also ensure you have all necessary communication tools like Skype, Google talk and others. These are important to ensure that you communicate with the employer with what is convenient to him or her.

Determination

This is the most important factor in my point of view, because I have noticed a lot of my friends who leave the freelancing when they are tired to apply for jobs and all of their applications are rejected. I was also among them, but I was determined and kept trying again and again. In the first week of joining oDesk I got my first job and after that the series of winning my favorite jobs is still in progress.
With this, you are guaranteed to get your first job on odesk. Good luck!
