An effective cover letter should open with a statement expressing interest in the job and the company, referencing relevant keywords from the job description. Following this, it's important to detail skills and qualifications, providing narrative examples of job-related experiences. This body should align personal skills with employer needs, demonstrating a fit for the position. The closing paragraph should reiterate a key qualification and thank the employer for consideration, serving as a call to action.
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.
