In an impactful cover letter, your accomplishments take center stage rather than past roles. This is especially useful if:
💠You are applying for roles where you’re expected to deliver on certain goals or results with targets and metrics that can be measured.
💠In addition, it highlights your capabilities if you haven’t followed a straightforward career path
💠If your past job titles provide an insufficient picture of your qualifications, potential & capabilities.
💠You want to stand out with your achievements a bit more than it might in a traditional cover letter.
💠You want to highlight the transferable skills you have that relate to the job description.
💠You want to explain why you’re making the switch and what’s driving you toward this specific industry, company, or position.
💠You want to add context to how your projects were created, monitored, and completed.
💠You want to show how results-driven you are and how you have leveraged some of the skills the company is looking for.
Remember whether you’re writing a cover letter for a data scientist or marketing manager position, an internship or a senior-level role, a startup or a Fortune 500 company, you’re going to want to tailor it to the role, company, and culture.
A strong, customized cover letter will help you explain your value proposition and stand out from the stack of applicants. If there’s a gap in your resume, you have the opportunity to explain why it’s there. If you’re changing careers, you have the chance to describe why you’re making the switch.
