Cover Letter Example
Dear [Mr./Ms. XXXXX],
I’m excited to submit my application for the [Job Title] position at ABC Company. My resume is attached to
this email, and below I’ve outlined some of my most relevant experience. I hope you’ll find it a great match for
this position and the company.
[First, address your layoff in a short and positive way. For example:] As you’ll notice, I have a bit of a gap
in my official work history. I was laid off from my last position, but have since been doing X, Y, and Z to stay
knowledgeable and active in this field. Here’s how I can put my skills and experience to work in your company.
[In this paragraph, point out 2–3 of the key requirements for the job, and how your skills and
experience match those requirements. For example:] I see that this role requires five years of project
management experience. Over the last six years, I’ve managed 35 successful web design projects, and I really
enjoy communicating with clients to set expectations and meet their needs.
[Make sure you include any required information that the job description notes, such as desired salary,
and answers to specific questions.]
[Close with a strong thank-you and reiterate your genuine interest in the role.] I appreciate the time
you’re taking to review my application. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you about my interest in this
job, and how I can be an asset to this team and the company.
Best wishes,
Your Name [as it appears on your resume]
Your email address
Your phone number
A link to your LinkedIn profile
