What a Cover Letter Should Do

A strong cover letter connects your experience to the role and gives context beyond your resume.

  • Introduce who you are and why you’re applying.
  • Highlight relevant experience and skills.
  • Show interest in the company and role.

Cover Letter Structure

Keep your letter organized, focused, and easy to read.

  • Opening: Role, company, and brief introduction.
  • Body: Skills, experience, and value you bring.
  • Closing: Interest, availability, and call to action.

Tailoring Your Letter

Generic cover letters are easy to spot and rarely effective.

  • Address the company and role directly.
  • Use keywords from the job description naturally.
  • Focus on how you can solve their needs.

Avoid these issues to improve your chances of getting interviews.

  • Repeating your resume word-for-word.
  • Using a one-size-fits-all letter.
  • Being too long or overly formal.
  • Spelling and grammar errors.
