assistance. He piqued my interest in this job when he described the team's innovative approach to
software development.” Integrate name-drops into your story Instead of bluntly stating your
acquaintance with an influential person, integrate this information into your story in a way that feels
natural and relevant. For example: “Dear James Miller.” Follow the salutation with a comma. Resume
Worded's Coached email series is my secret weapon to trick them though. In that case, you can also
address your cover letter to someone in authority in other departments, such as the senior manager or
the head of the department you are applying for. How to Address a Cover Letter With a Name
Addressing a cover letter with a name requires caution. You definitely do not want to offend your
hiring manager. Learners are advised to conduct additional research to ensure that courses and other
credentials pursued meet their personal, professional, and financial goals. Addressing a cover letter
to a recipient with a professional title If the recipient of your cover letter has a professional title,
always include it. Generally, cover letters follow the same format (aside from the address at the top)
and should ideally be no longer than a page, whether they are printed or emailed. Choose type of

then you will have to then move on to the next step of figuring out how to address a cover letter to
an unknown person. That’s because email etiquette tends to be a little more casual than written
letters. Adapt your format accordingly for an email cover letter. Otherwise, continue with a
professional and engaging salutation as mentioned earlier. Necessary These cookies are essential for
the Site's performance and for you to be able to use its features. Perhaps your research will uncover
the name of the hiring manager or you’ll follow one of our other top tips to address a cover letter
without a name. This approach often makes sense for remote work, and for larger organizations
where applications are passed through an HR department. And, they are already under a lot of
pressure to sort the resumes. An example could be, “Working alongside Emily White at CloudTech,
we co-authored a paper on cloud security innovations that was recognized at the International Tech
Conference last year.” When is name dropping is a bad idea for your cover letter. This can effectively
showcase your interest and commitment to the role. As a fallback, phone the receptionist and ask
who your cover letter should be sent to. Addressing a cover letter without a named recipient When
you're uncertain what the name of your recipient is, it’s definitely worth taking the time to find it.
This solution shows that you have gone to the trouble of personalising your cover letter. Leave a
space then write the date, correctly formatted, e.g. 21st February 2020. Then another space, left-
align and enter the employer’s contact details. You may even be able to get an introduction from a
mutual connection. If you find a specific contact, address your letter to that person while using their
full name and title.
For example, “Dear Hiring Manager” or “Dear Recruitment Team” acknowledges the recipient
without using a specific name. For example, after double-checking you might be able to write, “My
mentor, John Smith, a Senior Developer at your firm, encouraged me to apply. Tailor your letter
according to the job and the company. Beyond that, you may also consider contacting the
Department of Revenue to learn their state location, and follow up with their local chamber of

Use a friendly tone and avoid jargon or buzzwords to keep your cover letter genuine and relatable.
On platforms such as LinkedIn you will likely be able to find out their full name. You’ve just learned
where to start, but when to stop. For example. Dear Alex Ronson Dear Taylor Lambert That lets you
err on the side of caution and not make assumptions. Primary because it is a formal document, it
would be better to add the company address before starting your cover letter. Examples of generic
salutations: Dear Marketing Team Hiring Manager Dear Head of IT Dear Customer Service Manager
Dear Company ABC Recruiter Dear Company XYZ Team To the Sales Department But even if you
do have the name you’ve got to take care. A sign-off such as best wishes will likely come off as too
familiar. After all, waltzing into an interview and assuming you’ll be hired based on who you know
is a quick way to make enemies. Here’s an example: “Under the mentorship of David Park, a
renowned marketing strategist, I gained deep insights into consumer behavior analytics, which I
believe will greatly benefit my role in your marketing team.” When you have shared professional
achievements If you and the individual you're naming have achieved notable successes together, it's
worth mentioning. That means that even if you don’t know the recipient’s name, you want to
maintain the same professional tone in the letter and avoid overly stilted language or being too
informal. If you know someone at the company you’re applying for or had a chance to work with
someone who is well-known in your field, it’s usually a good idea to name drop in your cover letter.
While finding the proper person to address can be a chore, it helps you in several ways because.
However, just 37% of hiring managers and recruiters read a CV first. This is a great way to make a
professional first impression and stand out from other candidates. Score My Resume gives you
detailed feedback on how to improve your resume so that your skills and experience shine. Do still
greet the hiring manager by name: And use the same rules for salutations as in a stand-alone cover
letter. Google will show you the most relevant results for your search query.
For instance, you could say something like “I led a team that increased sales by 30%,” and then
provide context, “under the guidance of industry expert Jane Doe.” Use name-dropping as support,
not the lead Treat name-dropping as a nice little sideshow to your qualifications, not the main
attraction. Your experiences, skills, and achievements should always take center stage in your cover
letter. It’s descriptive, professional, and better than leaving the address blank. If you find a specific
contact, address your letter to that person while using their full name and title. On the next line
down, add the date, followed by the name and address of the recipient. For example. Dear Alex
Ronson Dear Taylor Lambert That lets you err on the side of caution and not make assumptions. For
example, “My recent project was commended by Sarah Johnson, a pioneer in educational technology,
for its innovative approach to digital learning.” When they have given you mentorship or guidance If
a recognized professional has significantly contributed to your career development, highlighting this
relationship can be beneficial. For example, instead of saying, “I know John Smith, your VP of
Marketing,” try, “During my tenure at MarketingMinds, I collaborated with John Smith on a
successful brand repositioning project.” Use name-dropping to demonstrate your skills or experience
Instead of focusing on the connection itself, focus on what you have achieved or learned through the
relationship. In that case, you can also address your cover letter to someone in authority in other
departments, such as the senior manager or the head of the department you are applying for. If this is
the case, mention that connection in your introduction. The hiring manager might ask the person you
mentioned about you and then. But if that all fails, then there are proper ways to address a cover
letter to an unknown recipient. For instance, it's not a good idea to mention a high-profile individual
you met briefly at a conference without any significant interaction or professional relationship. How
to find the addressee’s name for your cover letter Our list of top tips which assume you don’t have
the name of the person you’re addressing the cover letter to. For example, essential cookies include:
cookies dropped to provide the service, maintain your account, provide builder access, payment
pages, create IDs for your documents and store your consents. But 92% of hiring managers prefer to
have some address in the cover letter. Instead, address with their both name and last name in the
salutation like this. It is very generic and shows utter laziness on your part. And if you mess up your
cover letter opening what chance does the rest of your cover letter have. You'll learn how to build
trust and credibility, create connections, and highlight your experiences through name dropping
without sounding like a know-it-all. Share specific examples of your successes that align with the
responsibilities of the position. Of course the hiring process is somewhat impersonal. Hiring
managers usually have more important things to worry about. Open doors for yourself In certain
situations, mentioning a well-regarded connection can unlock opportunities that might otherwise be
hard to reach. Score My Resume gives you detailed feedback on how to improve your resume so that
your skills and experience shine. However, just 37% of hiring managers and recruiters read a CV
first. Feel free to download this cover letter template for your use. This may help you uncover the
specific department or hiring manager’s name. Let’s go through a few methods to help you address
your cover letter without a name. When you have a referral from a respected colleague or mentor If
someone influential in your industry or within the company you're applying to has referred you to the
position, it's a good idea to mention it.
You definitely do not want to offend your hiring manager. But “Dear hiring manager” falls into the
same pitfalls as “to whom it may concern”. When mentioning them will overshadow your own
qualifications Don’t let name-dropping overshadow your achievements and skills. Frame your
accomplishments in a way that highlights the value you can bring to the organization. My work spans
private and public sector in multiple languages and on multiple platforms, from social media and
written articles, to video. As a fallback, phone the receptionist and ask who your cover letter should
be sent to. Here are some tips to help you choose the right one. So I've learnt a thing or two about
grabbing your target audience's attention and getting them to listen to what you have to say. I've
already had way more callbacks since I used it. When the person is irrelevant to the position or the
company Name-dropping is inappropriate if the person has no relevant connection to the job or
company you're applying to. Matt is also a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and
Certified Internet Recruiter (CIR) with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Marketing
Focus) from John Carroll University. Addressing a cover letter to a recipient with a professional title
If the recipient of your cover letter has a professional title, always include it. It’s as old-fashioned
and stuffy as an Edwardian Dowager Duchess. This is a great way to make a professional first
impression and stand out from other candidates. You may or may not know the name of the person
you're trying to reach. Addressing your cover letter as “Dear Hiring Manager” or “To Whom It May
Concern” is still better than not sending a cover letter at all. Mentioning a renowned scientist when
applying for a marketing role in an unrelated industry might come across as irrelevant or like you’re
trying to impress rather than inform. By now, you should get all of your questions answered. Keep
an eye out for incorrect spellings, especially when addressing the recipient. However, it’s one of the
most important pieces because it’s the first thing the hiring managers will read. Please make sure you
have typed your email address correctly so we can send you the checklist. For example, “During my
time at GreenTech, I collaborated with John Adams, an expert in sustainable technologies, on
developing eco-friendly housing solutions.” This not only shows your experience but also connects
you with a known figure in the field. Resume Worded's Coached email series is my secret weapon to
trick them though. If you’re still searching for the right career path, try our Career Wizard Tool to see
how your abilities and interests may align with a career in risk management. But still, if you have
any questions regarding how to address a cover letter and who to address a cover letter, let's go over
the key takeaways of the blog. Example: See in this example how the first result itself answered
your question. If a hiring manager leaves the company, you may still find their name and contact
information on the website or other third-party websites. But you’re sure to leave a lacklustre
impression with a generic opening line. Well, you can probably say goodbye to an advantages
dropping their name would’ve given you in the first place. Keep reading Updated on Nov 28, 2023
