What is cover letter?

• A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience.

The Cover Letter

• Is the document that accompanies your CV when you are applying for a job.

• Is short (200-250 words), with a quite rigid structure and has the layout of a letter.

Objective of cover letter

• To introduce and present your Resume to the HR personnel or the recruiter

• To land you the interview for that dream job you wanted

• Increase the chances of getting the job

• To help you get the job

Header
• A cover letter should begin with both you
and the employer's contact information (name,
address, phone number, email) followed by
the date. If this is an email rather than an
actual letter, include your contact information
at the end of the letter, after your signature.
Salutation
• Begin your cover letter salutation with "Dr./Mr./Ms.
Last Name." If you are unsure if your contact is male or
female, you can write out their full name. If you do not
know the employer's last name, simply write, "Dear
Hiring Manager."
Body
• In a paragraph or two, explain why you are interested in the
job and why you make an excellent candidate for the position.
Mention specific qualifications listed in the job posting, and
explain how you meet those qualifications. Do not simply
restate your resume, but provide specific examples that
demonstrate your abilities.
Closing
• In the closing section of your cover letter, restate how
your skills make you a strong fit for the company and/or
position. State that you would like the opportunity to
interview or discuss employment opportunities. Explain
what you will do to follow-up, and when you will do it.
Thank the employer for his/her consideration.

• Use a complimentary close, and then end your cover letter

with your signature, handwritten, followed by your typed
name.

• If this is an email, simply include your typed name, followed

by your contact information, after the complimentary close.

o Sally B. Doe
