COVER LETTER TIPS

Choose a cover letter style - there are different types of cover letter styles that you can use. These include narrative, two-column (your requirements vs. my qualifications) and the use of both paragraphs and bulleted statements to list key achievements.

Do not be general in your cover letter - before you sit down to write your cover letter, make sure it is about you and not too general. Give careful thought to the position you are applying for and why you feel you are right for the job. Try to be as interesting as possible.

Be sure to personalize your cover letter -  if you are going to gain inspiration from cover letter samples, be sure to infuse your letter with specifics that allow the reader to understand who you are professionally. You do not want to give the impress

A cover letter is still a formal business letter - date and personally address your cover letter if you have the contact's name and address. If you do not, use whatever information is provided in the job advertisement.  

Express your reason for contacting the company - indicate where you saw their ad and introduce yourself by telling them what your intentions are for contacting them. For example, state that you are seeking a particular position or that you are transitioning your career.

Let them know what your career path and direction are - mention the types of positions you have held and with what types of companies and industries.
