5 Most Important Tips for Writing a Cover Letter
Here are some top tips for writing a cover letter that stands out:
- Make sure it’s clear and concise and sticks to the point – avoid rambling. The whole letter should be between half a page and a full page of text.
- Pick out 3 or 4 qualities the employer is looking for, and provide specific evidence and examples of how you match this.
- Always research the company first, and include information about them. Tell them what impresses you the most, along with why you think you’re a perfect fit.
- Your letter should be presented well and free from typos and spelling errors. Proofread it before you send it out.
- Finish with a call-to-action: politely ask them to contact you to discuss the job and invite you for a meeting or interview.
