3.4 Cover Letters

Cover letters are not typically mandatory when submitting your resume, but they can be used to supplement your achievements and explain your qualifications and desires. A strong cover letter could make the difference between receiving a call for an interview, or your resume ending up in a reject stack. They are an opportunity to explain why you are interested in the company and position, as well as demonstrate your communication skills. If your resume is one of 200 submitted, you need every opportunity to set yourself apart.

Cover letters should be written as a formal letter with your address and a formal introduction. A cover letter should include a brief introduction to your experience and skills, as well as your interest in the position. A short two to three paragraph letter will suffice.

You can start your cover letter by expressing the prestige of the company instead of starting your letter describing how you found the position. Secondly, explain why you are looking for a position and that you are excited by the role. You can highlight something specific from the job description that interested you enough to apply. Lastly, a strong close to a cover letter reminds the reader that you are very interested in the position and that you can be contacted for any questions about your resume.
