Unlike your resume, cover letters allow you to go into more detail about your professional career and explain why you’re a good candidate.fit for the role and company.

A well-written cover letter has the potential to impress employers and set you apart from other applicants. To avoid a generic cover letter, you should conduct in-depth research on the company and role for which you’re applying to in-depth before writing your cover letter.

Cover letter format

A cover letter should be formatted like a business letter and include the following sections:
- Header with date and contact information
- Salutation or greeting
- Opening paragraph
- Middle paragraph(s)
- Closing paragraph
- Letter ending and signature
Your cover letter should be one page in length and use a simple, professional font, such as Arial or Helvetica, 10 to 12 points in size.

How to write a cover letter?

Here are six simple steps to write a great cover letter:

Start with your header
Include a greeting
Write an opening paragraph
Follow with a middle paragraph
Finish with a closing paragraph
End with a professional sign off

1. Start with your header

Include a few pieces of personal and role specific information at the top of your cover letter.
This section should include your contact information, date of application and recipient’s contact information.
Including a professional and detailed heading will make it easier for the hiring manager or recruiter to follow up with you regarding the position.
Template

Example

cover_letter_header_example

2. Include a greeting

Try to find the name of the person who will be reviewing applications for the job
Address your letter to this person with a common business greeting, such as “Dear” or “Hello.”
If you’re unable to find the preferred gender pronouns (she/her, them/they), it is best to use a gender-neutral greeting such as “Dear first and last name” or “Dear position title”.
Example
- Dear Hiring Manager,
- Hello Ms. Wallace,
- Dear Tyler Wallace,

3. Write an opening paragraph

Mention the job title for which you’re applying and where you saw the position posting.
Explain your specific interest in the role and company so the reader knows you’ve done your research and have genuine interest.
Briefly state the main experience or qualification you have that makes you a good fit.
Example

I’m excited to apply for the Graphic Designer position at Cloud Clearwater I found on Indeed. I understand you’re currently adding several new product lines, and I believe my skills in video and animation provide a significant advantage for creating a successful launch. As a longtime fan of your products, I’m thrilled at the opportunity to bring my unique style and passion for beachwear to the company.

4. Follow with a second paragraph

Your second paragraph should be a brief overview of your background as is relevant to the position.
- Include key achievements, skills and specialties that make you particularly suited to perform well in the position.
- Focus on one or two and provide specific details about your success including measurable impacts you made.
Pay close attention to keywords listed in the job description and include those that you identify with in the body of your cover letter.
You should only include information about your most recent one or two professional experiences.
Tell story with STAR method
Example

As the Director of Human Resources at Wes Morgan Philips, I was a key senior leader in the organization and was responsible for improving the efficiency and performance of the company’s 540 employees. Before that, I worked in human resources, equal employment opportunity and diversity for Jenkins Technology Solutions, Inc. At Jenkins Technology Solutions Inc., I developed an employee retention plan that involved the creation of a wellness program, an internal training program and a promotions selection process, which led to a 50% reduction in the overall employee turnover rate.

5. Finish with a closing paragraph

The next paragraph should focus on another key achievement or skill that is relevant to the position. Instead of repeating details from your resume, expand on specific stories or anecdotes that display your fitness for the role. Again, focus on stories that demonstrate the skills and qualifications outlined in the job description.

Example

Achieving ambitious marketing goals is always a top priority, and I am always looking out for the best interests of the company. I enjoy delivering marketing presentations to potential clients and focusing on the strengths of an organization. My marketing skills at River Tech enabled the company to experience new levels of success and a 45% increase in customer engagement. I am never satisfied with the status quo, and I believe that a company should continually look for ways to improve and reach new clients through innovative campaigns.

6. End with a professional signoff

End your cover letter with a paragraph that summarizes the reasons you are applying for the role and why you would be a great fit
Keep the cover letter conclusion brief and explain that you look forward to hearing from the employer with the next steps.
End with your signature at the bottom.
Example

Thank you for your time and consideration. I’m looking forward to learning more details about the Sales position and about TradeLot. Growth is essential to my continued success, and I’m excited for the chance to be a part of TradeLot’s industry-leading team. My proven track record and TradeLot’s quality products are a winning combination for increasing the company’s market share.

Sincerely,

Malik Rabb

Tips

Customize your header based on your application format

If you’re writing your cover letter directly within an online job application, there’s no need to include your address or other contact information, as you’ve probably already typed that into other areas of the application form.
If you’re including your cover letter as an attachment, you can use the same heading as your resume.

Avoid generic references to your abilities

Whenever possible, tell meaningful anecdotes that tie your skills to concrete problem-solving activities or tangible business results you’ve worked on in your career.
To make an impact, you need to show hiring managers examples of your skills in action.

Keep it short and to the point

Focus on the details that are most important for the job.
Read the job description closely to identify the best opportunities to illustrate your qualifications.
Choose one or two of your professional achievements that you are proudest of and directly map them to the desired experience or qualifications the hiring manager is looking for, using just a few detailed but concise sentences.
Don’t reiterate everything that’s on your resume. You want to focus on one or two anecdotes, expanding on how you achieved something specific.

Proofread before you submit

Reread your cover letter several times before submitting it and keep an eye out for errors of spelling, grammar or punctuation.
Reading the letter aloud can help you pick out awkward phrasing or too-long sentences. There are certain common errors that we all tend to gloss over, so make sure to do a slow, deliberate reading that examines each word.
If your salutation includes the hiring manager’s name, triple-check the spelling.

Others

If sending electronically, put the text in the body of the email rather than as an attachment, to avoid it being detected by spam filters.
Only mention your current salary or salary expectations if the employer has specifically asked you to do so in the job description.
- If you’re asked to include this information put it between the third and last paragraphs.
Save with a .PDF file extension to make sure it can be opened and read on any machine (unless the job advert states differently).

Cover Letter Guideline

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In your cover letter, you should explain briefly, precisely and clearly why you are the right candidate for the position. Your basic message in the cover letter is: “I have understood who and what the company needs and can provide it!”

Approach:

Analyse the position description

What are the most important terms of the description? Mark the keywords as they should reappear in the cover letter.
Assign the keywords to your skills from your current career history

This means that the position description provides a framework for the structure of your cover letter.

💡 Cover letter or letter of motivation?

In the business world, a cover letter is required in most cases. Often the terms “cover letter” and “motivation letter” are used interchangeably here. In both cases you are expected to explain why you are the right person for the job and why you are applying for exactly this position.
A motivation letter for a scholarship has however different requirements than an application for a company

Structure

A cover letter classically consists of

an introduction
a main part
a conclusion

Introduction

Spark the reader’s interest in the first sentence. Cleverly combine this with a reference to the job offer. This can be followed by an introductory sentence about yourself, so that you make a transition to the main part.

Awaken interest & establish reference to the job offer

How you found out about the company/job or
Say Thanks for a phone call, conversation at a fair, etc.
Voluntary information:
- Why does the job in the company seem interesting to you?
- What attracts you to this company?

Examples

“Sincere thanks for the friendly and informative conversation at the xy trade fair. It encouraged me to…”
“You are looking for… (Followed by a short summery of the position) I’m offering …”
“I read with great enthusiasm that …”
“For several years now I have been following the development of your company/research work in the area of xy …”
“Mr. Xy informed me that you are seeking…”
“I’m applying for the position as a prospective xy…”
“Since I finished my internship at the … AG (=identical company) in the field xy, I follow the further development of your company with great interest. I am therefore pleased to have taken note of your job announcement and would like to introduce myself as a committed and … applicant.”

Main part

Demonstrate that your qualifications match the requirements of the company exactly and that you are therefore the right candidate for the specific vacancy.

Key idea: Ask yourself the question with each sentence: “Why am I exactly the right person for this position?”

Structure

If necessary, write an introductory sentence about yourself
Demonstrate professional qualifications required in the announcement with concrete examples from your own career
Demonstrate personal skills required in the announcement with concrete examples from your own career

Concrete approach

Job analysis: Underline the keywords in the job description.
Comparison: compare company requirements in terms of professional qualifications and soft skills with your own qualifications
Select the most important and suitable requirements for you. Generally, you cannot cover all the requirements in a job description.
Address the concrete needs & expectations of the company.
Name the keywords from the job description or the homepage.
Then explain why you have exactly this ability and provide an example from your career to prove the respective qualification.
Always with regard to the specific job.
Avoid simple repetition of the curriculum vitae!

Examples

“Based on my current professional background, I have the experience/knowledge described by you in …”
“As a freshly graduated computer scientist I would like to contribute to the success of your company with great commitment.”
“With great pleasure I would like to put my acquired knowledge into practice in your company.”
“Due to my studies of industrial engineering and management with focus on xy, which I will presumably finish in two months with the grade …, I have first knowledge in the field of xy. I was already able to deepen this knowledge during my thesis on the topic xy.”
“I was able to gain practical experience on the subject … during an internship semester at the company … There I.…”

Conclusion

Convey a positive impression of your application to the recipient
Try to find an individual, positive final formulation that flatters the recipient
- You can once again emphasize your motivation and at the same time show that you are well informed about the company. This way you will distinguish yourself from the majority of applicants who have not done exactly that.
- You can also address any organizational information that may be required.
The conclusion of the Cover Letter consists of a polite but confident request to respond.

Distinguish yourself positively

Approach the company individually, ideally you show that you are well informed about the company
Is there a first indication of this in the job description?
Research on homepage: Is there a specific business objective that the company wants to achieve in the middle term? An award that one wants to win? A concrete research project?

Organizational matters

Mentioning possible starting date
Salary expectations, if required
Readiness to change location, if required

Examples

“I would like to play an active role in winning next year’s Enterprise Award xy for your company.”
“I would like to contribute my enthusiasm for xy and my personal pioneering character (terms from job description / homepage) to Maier-Müller AG.”
“As Brand Manager I would like to develop your top products in the food sector in a future-oriented way and …”
“I can support your team from 01.03. To 31.08.20xx with my engagement.”
“Should you have any further questions, I would be happy to answer them in a personal conversation.”

Final Check

Have you responded to the company’s expectations?
Have you outlined your skills and suitability for the position?
Have you presented yourself attractively without repeating your CV?

Cover Letter: Instruction from KIT Career Service

How to start a cover letter

Thu, 21 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Starting a cover letter

Information that should be included in the introduction:

The position you’re applying for
The company you’re applying to
How you learned about the job opening
A statement expressing and explaining your interest in the position
Any outstanding achievements that highlight your qualifications

The introduction should be

Enthusiastic
Direct
Creative (when appropriate)
Focused on the company’s needs
Achievement-oriented

Be sure to mention any mutual contacts if you have at the company as well.

Tips for starting a cover letter

Be direct

To make sure your application isn’t overlooked, write a short cover letter and state the job you’re applying for clearly and concisely in the first paragraph of your cover letter, that way there’s no confusion about your intent.

Example

I’m writing to apply for the Restaurant Manager position at La Fare Bistro. With more than eight years in the restaurant industry as a server, manager, and host, I’m confident that my expertise aligns closely with the responsibilities required of the Restaurant Manager position.

Express enthusiasm for the role

Employees who are passionate about their work are likely to perform better, stay longer, and make a greater long-term contribution to the company.
To demonstrate your enthusiasm in the opening paragraph, explain
- what draws you to the position
- how it fits into your career goals

Example

My senior year of high school, I saved up for nearly a year to buy the first generation Oculus Rift headset — my parents thought I was nuts. But ever since, I’ve been obsessed with the potential of virtual reality technology and have been thrilled to see its presence grow in our changing media industry. That’s why I’m excited for the opportunity to put my passion for VR to work as an Engineer at NextGen VR Corp, and help build the future of virtual reality technology.

Example

I’ve been passionate about writing since I was the editor in chief of my middle school newspaper. Throughout my 10+ years of experience, I’ve channeled this passion into a personal blog with 20K+ monthly readers, featured articles on Forbes and Teen Vogue that have garnered over 40K views, and a writer’s workshop I founded for inner-city teens.

Show your excitement about the work being done by the company

Highlight the excitement about a company’s brand, their mission statement, or their products

Employers value candidates who are personally excited to contribute to a company’s goals because it’s a clear indicator that they’d be an immediate benefit to the team.

Example

As a long-term admirer of the contributions to solar panel technology being made by the team at GreenWays Engineering, I’m excited to submit my application for the entry-level technician position. As a recent graduate from the University of Rochester with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering, I’m confident that my knowledge of PV systems, practical experience performing energy modeling assessments, and precise attention to detail will make me an asset to the team at GreenWays.

Example

I was excited to see that Company ABC is hiring an event manager skilled at increasing brand awareness and driving growth with high-traffic events—especially since I’ve attended several of your company’s speaking events myself. With my 5+ years of experience coordinating successful events in the corporate space, I’m confident I’m a great fit for the role.

Impress employers with an accomplishment

If you have experience in your field, start your cover letter by noting a professional achievement that demonstrates your expertise in your industry.
- Draw a connection between the contributions you made at your previous job
- and how the skills you learned there will help you achieve similar results in your new role
By being upfront about your relevant accomplishments, you reassure employers that you’re fully capable of performing the job.

Example

I’m writing to you today to apply for the Senior Accountant role at Walker & Company I saw on Indeed.com. As an accountant with 6+ years of experience, I’ve honed my accounting skills and gained a variety of experience that I’m confident will help me contribute significantly to the team at Walker & Co. Last year while working for Smith Johnson & Sons, I balanced a $400,000 budget, while reducing costs by 20% for a client. Given the opportunity, I believe I can achieve similar results in the Senior Accountant role at Walker & Company, while further enhancing my expertise.

Example

Last month alone, I more than doubled Company X’s Instagram followers and ran two successful Facebook ad campaigns that generated $25K+ in revenue. I’d love to bring my expertise organically expanding social reach and delivering ROI to the social media manager position at Company ABC.

Mention a contact

If you were referred to the role by a former coworker, classmate, or friend, mention their name in the opening sentence for your cover letter.

Hiring managers are more likely to take your application seriously if you’ve been recommended by someone they already work with and respect.

Some tips on doing it tactfully:

Avoid using extreme words like “greatest” or “best”
Show excitement and gratitude
Keep it brief and let the recommendation speak for itself

Example

I was excited to hear about the open position of social media manager at StarWon from an ex-colleague of mine, Jennifer Henderson. We were on the same social media team at Turbofun for two years, where we worked on eight projects together. I’ve heard great things about the work being done at StarWon, and I’m confident that my skills and experience would be an excellent asset to your team.

Example

I was excited to learn of this job opportunity from my former colleague, Alex Johnson. He and I have worked closely together for many years, most recently on a complex data analysis project at XYZ Company. He thought that I would be a good match for this position on your team.

Use humor or creativity (if appropriate)

Injecting humor into your cover letter opening is an effective way to add personality to your application as well as catch (and maintain) the hiring manager’s attention
But note
- Depending on the type of position you’re applying for or the company you want to work at, a casual tone might come across as unprofessional.
- Avoid making your cover letter opening longer than it needs to be. While creativity can help you grab attention, many hiring managers will find anything that exceeds standard cover letter length to be tedious.
So before adding humor to your cover letter, do some research about the company culture and decide whether a casual tone is actually appropriate

Example

As an online native who’s obsessed (yes, obsessed) with the GoGourmet app, I was thrilled to see your listing for the Social Media Manager position at GoGourmet Studios. Before I started watching GoGourmet’s content, I didn’t know the difference between a ham steak and a lamb shank. While I still may not be much of a chef, I would consider myself something of a social media sommelier. With over three years of professional experience as an online brand manager under my belt, I’m confident my adaptability and hands-on branding experience would make me the ideal candidate to help GoGourmet expand their online presence and user base.

Demonstrate what you can do for the company

highlight a problem you’re confident you can tackle for them, or any specific hard or soft skills you bring to the table.

Example

I’m writing to apply for the Software Engineer role at Jasper Development. With over five years of experience as a backend engineer, I’m confident that my expertise would allow me to become an immediate contributor to the team at Jasper. Specifically, I understand that Jasper is looking to expand their services in cloud computing. At my previous job, I spearheaded a new cloud computing project that generated a 15% revenue increase. The Software Engineer role at Jasper would be an exciting opportunity for me to hone my skills in this area while helping your team build their cloud computing capacity.

Bring up something newsworthy

Kick off your cover letter with evidence that you’ve done your research – and a little bit of flattery.

If the company you’re applying for was recently in the news, mention it in the opening line and tie it into why you admire the company.
To avoid sounding insincere with your compliments, bring up a specific event, fact, notable statistic or award the company recently won!

Example

When I saw that Company ABC was featured in Fortune Magazine last month for its commitment to renewable energy and reducing waste in the workplace—all while experiencing triple-digit revenue growth—I was inspired. With my track record of reducing costs by 30%+ and promoting greener workplaces, I’m excited about the possibility of taking on the account executive role to expand your company’s growth and work towards a more sustainable future.

How To End a Cover Letter

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The cover letter closing is where you reinforce your strongest selling points as a candidate.

Your cover letter ending should convince the hiring manager to call you in for an interview before another company snaps you up first.

How to close a cover letter

Your cover letter closing needs to grab the attention of employers and guarantee they remember your application.

To accomplish this, when closing your cover letter, ensure you include the following three sections:

Final body paragraph — add your key selling points here
Cover letter closing — push for an interview and say you’ll follow up
Sign off— use HR-approved language to achieve the right level of formality

Example:

Cover letter closing example

Tips for writing a strong cover letter ending

Restate your value as an employee

Emphasize what you can do for the employer to explain how you’ll add value to the company if hired.

State how your skills, expertise, and experience will directly benefit their business.
By focusing on the needs of the company instead of your own, you’ll end your cover letter by showing the hiring manager you’re serious about the role and a results-driven candidate.

Example

I’d be honored to show you in an interview how I can bring the same results I had at Frontier Health, and boost employee retention at Monsanto Inc. by 10% in under a year through the implementation of low-cost training courses and employee benefits.

Express your passion for the industry and the company

One of the most desirable traits in an employee is genuine enthusiasm.
- Employers know that passionate workers maintain and improve their performance over time, resulting in longer retention rates and higher productivity.
Use your cover letter closing paragraph to demonstrate how passionate you are about the work associated with the job

Example

As a devotee of the beauty industry and a loyal customer of Body+ Skincare, I’m excited to use my social media and marketing skills to bolster the company’s reach online. I can’t wait to share my ideas for how best to spread the brand’s message that everyone is beautiful.

Quantify your value as an employee

Make it clear that you’d be a strong asset to the company if hired by citing a previous accomplishment (with hard numbers to back it up).

Example

If hired, I’ll bring the same results-oriented mindset to Power Gym as I brought to UltraFit. I’m looking forward to showing you how I improved member retention by 35% and drove monthly sales of over $2500 in supplements and fitness accessories.

Focus on the company’s future

You should know the values and goals of your target company
- Knowing the company’s goals allows you to establish a connection with the hiring manager, and shows how you can be a vital part of achieving the company’s mission.
If you explain in your cover letter closing how your objectives align with the organization’s and how you’ll help them grow, hiring managers will know you’re a dedicated employee and serious about the role.

Example

SmartMeals’ mission statement is that it wants to reinvent how people approach their diet. On your team, I would continue to develop my conscientious approach to customer service and help create the most compelling organic food shopping experience imaginable.

Show you’ve done your research on the company

Hiring managers value employees who are invested in the company and willing to learn about the job.
One of the best ways to show you’re invested is by researching the company and referencing your research at the end of your cover letter.
Subjects you could choose to research about potential employers
- mission
- products
- culture
Sometimes simply browsing the company’s website is sufficient to find information to include

Example

After reviewing Lonestar’s 2022 balance sheet, I found the debt to equity ratio to be high in Q2. At my previous company, Skyward, I decreased their debt by 10% in under 2 years through altering inventory and storage costs. I would love to share my techniques in an interview and discuss how I could be an asset to Lonestar’s financial department.

Leave a time for following up with the hiring manager

A quick and easy way to show the hiring manager that you’re motivated to excel at the job is by leaving a time in your cover letter closing for following up with them
Note: when leaving a time or date for contacting the hiring manager, ensure that you don’t come off as too pushy.

Example

I’m looking forward to discussing my skills and experience in more detail soon. I’ll be in touch next week to follow up, just to make sure you received my application. Thank you for your time and consideration.
