Let’s Look at the Opening
- How is the hook?
- Interest/passion for the position?
- Skills/experience matching the job posting?
- Is primary or secondary research integrated
- Name drop? (when applicable)
- Branding: CAN-WANT-FIT
EXAMPLE
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” is something that I know is true. The teachers that I
have had – from sports coach, to camp counselor, to university professor – have shaped me into the person I am today. I will
always be thankful for their guidance and for the way they have modeled true leadership. The COMM202 TA position is
appealing on a number of fronts including the opportunity to help my fellow students and perhaps emulate some of the
traits exhibited by those who have helped me.

Body Paragraphs

Why should the employer care

- Do results show strengths or success?
EXAMPLE
TIME TO TRADE!
Closing – Making a Good Final Impression

-Is sincere interest expressed?
-Graciously thanks employer for consideration
-Call to action (aka request for a meeting)
-Tie back to hook/intro, wrap it up in a nice
bow
