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.
