Like other persuasive documents or papers, a cover letter has an introduction, body, and conclusion.
F1F1F1S1F1F1F10Beginning by describing the job you are applying for, such as, "I am applying for the position of Associate in Digital Advertising Operations." If someone referred you, you can mention their name (if she or he gave you permission). The introduction can also briefly explain why you are interested in the job and how you are well-qualified. In addition, you might make it clear in the introduction that you know something about the company for which interests you or aligns with your ability to contribute, such as the history, achievements, special projects, or reputation.
F1F1F1S1F1F1F10The body of the cover letter is where you emphasize key items from your education and experience that express your qualifications for the job you seek. Remember that you are trying to demonstrate to the employer how readily you will fit into the job and the organization, thus, use key words from the job advertisement. Be brief, and focus only on the experience and skills that were highly reflected in the job advertisement or that you know are important to the company. If you have no job history or are new the workforce (which is often the case with new college graduates) you can describe your educational experience, academic performance, awards and honors, clubs and organizations you participated in, and extracurricular activities. Also important are recommendations, standardized test scores, internships, military experience, and community service. Be specific about your accomplishments, but identify how these skills will help you contribute to the role you are applying for.
F1F1F1S1F1F1F10The ending of your cover letter is a call to action. You want to thank the employer for reading your materials, and express your interest for an interview. Remember, the goal of the letter of application is to receive the offer of a job interview with the prospective employer. Simply indicate that you are available for an interview at the employer's convenience, and give any special instructions needed for reaching you.
