Give a specific reason for applying or mention a unique strength you can bring to the team (e.g., ‘I’m eager to bring my foreign language skills and customer service experience to your customer support team’).

In your second paragraph, outline how your experience and skills will help you address the company’s needs. Include specific examples of your previous successes, including the role you played and the results of your actions.

• You can also include a short, bulleted list of your top accomplishments
• Include numbers to measure the impact of success
• Numbers will make your wins 100% more likely to stand out

Additionally, make yourself look like a great fit for the company culture by highlighting relevant values or career goals (e.g., ‘I admire your service’s commitment to providing exceptional care for the elderly, and wish to contribute to these efforts in [City].’)

End your cover letter by thanking the employer and politely requesting an interview. Repeat your email address and phone number, and let them know if there’s a specific time you’d prefer to be contacted.

Yours sincerely,
