How to Write A Cover Letter
A Guide to Writing a Cover Letter that Impresses Your Reader
The cover letter is a tool to help introduce yourself in a memorable, personal way during a job application.
A well-crafted cover letter
goes over information on your resume and expands this information for
the reader, taking them on a guided journey of some of your greatest career and life achievements.
When starting to write any cover letter, it is always best to plan the content of your letter based on the requirements of the job you’re applying for.
This guide will cover: the essential elements of a successful cover letter,
how to write a unique cover letter, what to include in cover letters,
what not to include and how you should submit your cover letter.
What is a Cover Letter?
Your resume is intended to lay out the facts, but your cover letter
is meant to convey more personality. The cover letter is your first
introduction to the person who may hire you, and its goal should be to
make you as memorable as possible, in a good way.
That means writing a unique cover letter
for every job you apply to. No templates. No pre-written nonsense. The
format of your cover letter should also match the company and the
industry you’re applying to.
There is no “official format” for your cover letter or the information you include in it, but your cover letter should be visually organized, and orderly in its presentation of information.
Successful cover letters go something like this:
- Memorable introduction
- Specific, organized examples of relevant work done and problems solved
- Concise conclusion with a call to action
