➡️WHAT – A cover letter is a one-page document that is part of your job application (along with your resume.) It details how your skillset aligns with the role, what you can bring to the company and why you want the position.
➡️WHY – A well-drafted cover letter will spark the reader’s interest and get them to read your resume in the attachment. They allow recruiters to develop a better understanding of your suitability for a position.
➡️STRUCTURE – personalize while addressing the reader with their name & designation if you know.
✔️Opening para should let the employer know what position you are applying for.
✔️The 2nd para should state why you fit and this is your chance to grasp your reader by the collar and get their attention, you should offer some specific, focused information picked from the JD and match a few core strengths that align to the role.
✔️The 3rd para should highlight examples from your experience and results achieved relevant to the role stated in bullet points.
✔️In the 4th and optional para, you can speak about the company and show that you did your research and know something about the business and how you can contribute to its mission.
✔️The last para, summarise and close by seeking next steps with call or meeting.
