A cover letter should have an opening that states the applicant's interest in the job. The body should highlight relevant skills and experiences that align with the job requirements. This involves providing examples of how job-related skills were developed. Finally, a closing paragraph should reiterate a key qualification and express gratitude to the employer for considering the application.
This section is your opener and should contain your 'purpose' or interest statement that explains why you would be interested in the job posting or the company. Make sure to reference keywords and statements from the job description.
The body paragraph (s): should contain skills and qualifications related to the job, i.e., provide a narrative example of how your job-related skills were obtained/honed.
Your goal here is to match the skills to the employer's needs. Justify how your career experiences could fit into the position and the organization.
The end paragraph: is the closer that would signify a 'call to action' by reiterating an essential qualification for the position you possess and an appreciation for the employer's consideration.
