Cover Letters
• A cover letter should be addressed to a person receiving correspondence. That person's
name should be placed in the inside heading and salutation of your cover letter. It
should also be included on the top line of your envelope.
• Most times, you start a cover letter with your name and contact information. This
should mirror the information on your resume and is usually in the top left corner of
formal cover letters.
• Introduction to provide context. Use a standard greeting like “Hello,” or “Good
afternoon.” Addressing the hiring manager by name is typically a better option than
being vague in your greeting.

• In your first paragraph, mention the position and show enthusiasm for the role.

• The first paragraph of your cover letter is important, so consider a well-constructed

sentence in twenty words or fewer that grabs the reader’s attention.
• In the next two paragraphs, you’ll be focused on information you want your potential
employer to know about you.
• The key is to be clear and brief.
• As you move along to paragraph three, think about how the experience you selected in
paragraph two makes you a qualified candidate and tell that story in the third
paragraph.

Your closing should take place in just a few sentences. These include a very condensed
summary of why you are a good fit and a call to action.
