We will walk you through each step of the process of writing up a good cover letter to ensure you do not miss out on any important details and leave out the unnecessary!

Research

Remember that an email cover letter is sent directly to the hiring personnel in response to the job advertisement they posted, thus you will need to be specific in making sure that the skills you decide to present to them match the requirements they demanded.

Show evidence of good work ethic and relevant competencies from work experiences and project involvement.

When catering to a specific organization, make sure to take into account the culture of the company. The way you portray yourself through the cover letter should embody the type of culture the company has.

Different organisations vary from wanting someone fun, creative and bubbly or someone poised and serious. Do your research and apply what you learn accordingly!

Make them want to keep reading

There are going to be thousands of the same cover letter that starts off with how they found the job opening and why they chose to apply for it.

In order to stand out, you have to start with something strong and intriguing. Let them know why this particular job excites you and how you can contribute to better your future and the future of the company.

Give specific reasons for your enthusiasm for this job. You can also share a little bit about your relevant experience but keep in mind not to include everything you have ever done in the cover letter, they already have your resume for that.

Stay away from trying to make jokes in hopes to come across as fun and bubbly. Humour is very subjective and can be a hit or miss! Grab their attention by stating something that adds value and is direct.

Give Examples
You could give them a few reasons why you would be a valuable addition to the company and the team of people you may be working with.

Most importantly, you will need to provide personal examples of what you have done to show that you are suitable for the position. And of course, it is best to be able to present some backing to the claims of you being the most suitable candidate for the company and that specific job position.

For example:

Share your cover letter with a few people in your social circle to get some feedback. Have your friends and family elaborate on their feedback to make sure your cover letter is clear and direct. Have them tell you one thing that they think could be improved on.
