Your cover letter should typically be no longer than one page, consisting of up to five paragraphs to include your opening (introduction) body (2-3 paragraphs), and the closing (1). If you’re tempted to make it more than one page-just don’t! Just as recruiters take an average of 6 seconds to read a resume, they also scan your cover letter. Use your cover letter to highlight your accomplishments and how your skills align with the position. The potential employer is only interested in reading the facts that pertain to the job position, not your autobiography.
Do your research to see if you can identify the hiring manager or the recruiter who is working on that position and address your cover letter to that person. If your research doesn’t provide you with a specific name, then use “Dear Hiring Manager” in your salutation. Never start the cover letter with 'To Whom It May Concern' because this is too informal and shows very little effort.
No! No!. No two jobs are ever the same, and even if the jobs are similar, take the time to research and learn about the company and the specifics of the job you’re applying for. This will allow you to better customize and align your cover letter to match the requirements of the job. Recruiters and hiring managers will notice your effort as it demonstrates you have a genuine interest in the company and the position you’re applying for. Not one size fits all.
- Review your cover to make sure it’s free of typos and errors. You want to put your best foot forward as Recruiters will immediately pick up on those issues. That could be a big turn-off to Recruiters and Hiring Managers.
- Add accomplishments to demonstrate what you’ve done/accomplished in your positions. Remember your cover letter is really your sales pitch. Highlight your accomplishments to show how it will add value to the employer/position your applying for.
- Cover letters are not a one size fits all, so tailor your cover letter to the job you’re applying Review the job description and tweak your cover letter to include experienes you have that align with the job postings.
