The document provides guidance on how to write an effective cover letter. It explains that a cover letter is a document submitted with a job application that introduces the applicant and highlights their relevant skills and experience for the position. The document then outlines the key components of a cover letter, which include a header with contact information, a greeting to the hiring manager, an opening paragraph stating interest in the position and brief introduction, explaining why the applicant is the perfect candidate by detailing relevant qualifications and experience, stating why the applicant is eager to join the company, and a formal closing. It emphasizes tailoring each cover letter to the specific job by researching the company and relating skills and achievements to their needs.

2. What is Cover Letter?
A cover letter is a written document commonly submitted with a job application outlining the
applicant's credentials and interest in the open position.
Since a cover letter is often one of only two documents sent to a potential employer, a well- or
poorly-written letter can impact whether the applicant is called for an interview.

3. A cover letter (covering letter) is a document
attached to your job application that introduces
you in a more personal way and compliments
the info on your resume or CV, expanding on
the skills and achievements, and highlighting a
selection of your greatest career successes.
Unlike a resume, a cover letter lets you can
introduce yourself to the hiring manager,
provide context for your achievements and
qualifications, and explain your motivation for
joining the company.

4. The letter header of every
professional cover letter for a job
application should include the
following:
• Your name
• Your phone number
• Your email address
• The date
• The name of the hiring manager
and their professional title
• The name and address of the
company to which you’re applying

1. Header
TIPS: Writing a cover letter with no name of the hiring manager
available? In the addressee section include only the name of the
department: for example, “XYZ Sales Department.”

5. Who do you address a cover letter to?
Directly to the hiring manager who’ll
read it.
The greeting of your cover letter (i.e.,
the salutation) might be the very first
thing the hiring manager sees. That
makes it one of the most important
parts of a cover letter.
Sample cover letter greetings:
• Dear Katherine,
• Dear Miss Jones,
• Dear Ms. Smith,
• Dear Mrs. Ford,
• Dear Mr. McConnor,

2. Proper Greeting
TIPS: Wondering whether you should use the hiring manager’s
first or last name? That depends on the company culture. If you’re
applying for a position with a relaxed, casual company, use the
first name. For corporate cover letters, it’s safer to go with the
addressee's last name.

7. These few sentences at the beginning of
your cover letter will determine whether
the hiring manager will read on.

introduction attract and hold the hiring
manager’s interest.

3. Opening Paragraph
Things that you need to be mentioned:
a.THE VACANCY INFO
b.YOUR INTEREST TO THE VACANCY
c.BRIEF INTRODUCTION

8. What to write in a cover letter’s second
paragraph?

exactly what she’s looking for. You must
show that you’re going to satisfy the
company’s specific needs.

4. Explain Why
You’re The Perfect
Candidate
TIPS: Job seekers impress employers by identifying transferable skills related to new positions. People often apply to new positions, so it’s likely you’ll not have
the exact experience requested. But employers would rather know how your past experiences will inform future decisions.
Things that you need to be mentioned:
a. YOUR positive QUALITIES and
CHARACTERISTICS/STRENGTH
b. GENERAL SKILLS
c. PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES (more specific qualities relevant
to the job)
d. PREVIOUS RELEVANT WORKING EXPERIENCE
e. HOW WILL A, B, C, D, E contribute to the company.

9. The key to writing a perfect cover letter third
paragraph is showing the hiring manager why
you want this job, not just any job. This is
particularly important when writing an entry
level cover letter. Enthusiasm and passion
helps to prove you'll hit the ground running.

5. Tell Them Why
You’re Eager to Join
Tips: You want to avoid writing too much of a general cover letter. Generic doesn't win jobs, tailored and targeted does.
Here’s the easiest way to do it:
• Start with a company fact - for instance, an
upcoming project (1)
• Say why you find it interesting (2)
• Reiterate that your experience and knowledge
will let you succeed with the project (3)

10. How to make the best cover letter ending?
Long story short: by providing value.
Tell the hiring manager that you’re looking
forward to meeting in person and discussing
how your experience and knowledge can help
your future employer in fulfilling their goals.

6. Closing
Paragraph Sample:
I would welcome the chance to discuss your
digital marketing objectives and show you
how my success at ABC can translate into
digital and online marketing growth for XYZ.

11. Once you’ve written the body of your
cover letter, you just need to put a
formal closing at the very end. Write
“sincerely” and follow it with your full
name. Adding your handwritten
signature is optional, but it’s
recommended for more formal cover
letters.

7. Formal Closing

“sincerely,” feel free to use any of the
following synonyms:
• Thank you,
• Best regards,
• Kind regards,
• Sincerely,
• With best regards.
• Thank you for your consideration,
• Regards,
• Sincerely yours,
