A cover letter opener should state the candidate's interest in the position and include relevant keywords from the job description. The body should detail the candidate's skills and qualifications, giving examples of how these skills were developed. It must align the candidate’s experiences with the employer's needs. The closing should reiterate an essential qualification and express gratitude, encouraging further communication with the employer or recruiter.
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.
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.
