Write Your Cover Letter
Not every job requires a formal cover letter. These tips can also be useful when writing an email to a potential employer.
- Use keywords from the job posting in your letter. Don't repeat information included in your resume.
- Explain how your skills and personal qualities match the employer's needs.
- Focus on what you can do for the employer and how you will contribute to the organization's goals.
