These five steps are the basis of how to write a cover letter:
1. Greeting: Address your cover letter to the proper person.

to the job and displays your enthusiasm.
3. Hook: Highlight your past achievements as they relate to the job you're applying for.
4. Skills: Emphasize additional relevant skills, such as computer languages or certifications.
5. Close: Briefly recap your strengths as a candidate, and include your contact information.

In the box below, write down your strengths and weaknesses:
