Tips for writing a strong application letter

A cover letter can help or hurt you. To ensure your application supports rather than detracts from your resume, follow these tips:

• Get started right away: In your first paragraph, explain why you're writing. Mention the job title and company name, as well as where you found the job listing. While you can also briefly mention why you are a strong candidate, this section should be short and to the point.
• Offer something different than what is on your resume:
  • You can make your language a bit more personal than on your resume bullet points, and you can tell a narrative about your work experience and career.
  • It is rare to send an application letter without also sending a resume. Your application letter, therefore, should highlight information that your resume does not.
• Make a good case. Your first goal with this letter is to move on to the next step: an interview. Your overall goal, of course, is to get a job offer. Use your application letter to promote both causes. Provide details about your experience and background that demonstrate why you are a good candidate. How have other jobs prepared you for the position? What would you bring to the position, and to the company? Use this space to emphasize your strengths.
• Close with all the important details. Include a thank you at the end of your letter. You can also share your contact information. If you wish, mention how you are going to proceed.
