your personality

cover letter stand out from the other
applicants

Why Are Cover Letters Important?
The hiring manager’s viewpoint
• Demonstrating you want this job
• You put in extra effort, willing to go above and beyond the initial
requirements
• You can make a connection with those reading the cover letter
Memorable
• Include information about you that isn’t in your resume
• What makes you special? This is your opportunity to stand out!

Anatomy Lesson!
Keep it short
• Do not sum up your entire life
story in a cover letter
• Do not just restate your resume
Aim for three paragraphs
1. Memorable Introduction
2. Specific, well-organized examples
of work that translates specifically
to this company and position
3. Concise conclusion and a call to
action
Close with your thanks and contact
information

KSAs – Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Most importantly, WHY should the company hire you
above everyone else?

Cover Letter Tips
Most important – SPELL CHECK and EDIT!
• Take a break, come back and read again, then edit accordingly
• Ask someone to proofread
Be Honest
• Overstating the truth, stating you have a skill that you do not,
will only cause you difficultly in the future
Copycats
• Anyone can copy and paste from the internet, template cover
letters will not make you special or interesting
Address the company
• Do your research about the company
• Why is this company your company of choice, why do you want to
work there?
• What experience do you have that would help this company
