A cover letter consists of an opener that expresses interest in the job and the company, referencing job description keywords. The body includes relevant skills and qualifications, providing examples of how these skills were developed. It is crucial to align personal experiences with the employer's needs. The concluding paragraph should serve as a call to action, reiterating a key qualification while thanking the employer for their consideration.
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.
