Sample Cover Letter:
- Keep it brief and to the point, usually 1 page max.
- Begin with a formal salutation, using the hiring manager's name if possible.
- Introduce yourself and explain why you're writing in the first sentence.
- Include some information about your qualifications and experience, but keep it relevant to the job you're applying for.
- End with a call to action and your contact information.
- Make sure to proof read it before submitting.
Both the resume and cover letter are the first chance to impress the hiring manager, so take time to make them polished and professional. Make sure they are free of typos and grammatical errors, and that they are tailored to the specific job and company you are applying to. Consider seeking assistance or feedback to improve them as well.
