It is very easy for employers to recognize a canned cover letter; these statements are examples, but you should always create your own original text for every single position to which you apply.\u003Cbr>Here are a few tips for creating original statements:\u003Cbr>A cover letter serves as a tool to introduce yourself to an employer, as well as a way for you to introduce how your qualifications meet their business needs. As a result, each cover letter you write should be customized to detail how your experience matches with this unique role.\u003Cbr>Conduct research on both the company and the position being posted, so you can tailor your text to align with the company’s mission, vision, goals, values, and job specific terminology.\u003Cbr>Repeatedly beginning sentences with “I” will make your letter repetitive. Utilize alternatives, such as:\u003Cbr>o “While studying migration patterns of swallows, I discovered…”\u003Cbr>o “Developing and executing an event taught me…”\u003Cbr>o “By sharing these results, researchers will be able to…”\u003Cbr>Do not be afraid to share stories of experiences that are relevant to the position. Stories will usually be more compelling and original than following a template, and share soft skills (like leadership, teamwork, and communication) better than flat out stating you have these skills.\u003Cbr>Speak objectively about your experiences; give examples that establish your strengths and competencies.\u003Cbr>SAMPLE OPENING PARAGRAPH STATEMENTS |\n| --- |\n| Your presentation at the Cooperative Non-Profit Conference confirmed my belief that I desire a career in the nonprofit sector.\u003Cbr>Professor Allison suggested I contact you about potential summer research positions in your lab. As a junior Biology major at Western New England University, I am considering pursuing a PhD. Involvement with your lab would allow me to utilize my current laboratory skills and provide me with excellent experience.\u003Cbr>Linda Small suggested I contact you regarding the current openings in your Marketing Department.\u003Cbr>I would like to be considered for the communication assistant position available at XYZ Organization. Enclosed is my resume for your consideration.\u003Cbr>I am writing to express my interest in the research assistant position at ABC Industries posted on Indeed.com on May 20, 2016.\u003Cbr>SAMPLE BODY PARAGRAPH STATEMENTS |\n| My experience at the Springfield Museum of Art and my senior seminar research on modern art provide me with an excellent foundation for contributing to the ABC Museum.\u003Cbr>The strong quantitative background I have developed from my academic work in sociology including several demographic projects will allow me to successfully apply these skills in business.\u003Cbr>My interest in literature has been heightened by my studies as an English major, and I am eager to learn more about opportunities in the field of publishing.\u003Cbr>As captain of the women’s varsity soccer team, I have exercised diligence, leadership skills, and a commitment to specific goals, all of which would make me a valuable team player at XYZ Organization.\u003Cbr>SAMPLE CLOSING PARAGRAPH STATEMENTS |\n\nWhen the employer is making the selection:  \n• Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any additional information. I look forward to discussing this position further with you in the near future. Thank you for your consideration.  \nWhen you have initiated contact:  \n• I will be in Boston at the end of June and will call next week to see if there is a convenient time when we could meet. Thank you for your consideration.  \nCoursework: As an accounting major at Western New England University, I have demonstrated strong academic diligence in all of my accounting coursework, as demonstrated by a major GPA of 3.5.
