If you are writing a letter of application, you should name the specific position for which you are applying. Also, tell the employer how you became aware of the vacancy. Ifa former employer or someone else referred you to the employer, this is the best place to drop that person’s name and mention that he or she suggested you write. A letter of inquiry should provide evidence of your career-mindedness; it helps to refer to specific job functions, if not titles, when trying to determine ifa vacancy exists.  \nThe second paragraph is where you draw attention to your resume and highlight specific skills relevant to the potential employer. This paragraph is devoted to explaining how you are qualified. Cite achievements and qualifications related to the position desired. If you have qualifications that are not noted on your resume, this is your opportunity to discuss them.  \nThe third paragraph states why you are right for this job. Use this paragraph to demonstrate your knowledge of the employer and their goals. Tell them why you should be considered for the position you are applying for. A little bit of homework on the company or the industry can really pay off by showing the employer that you are serious about your application and informed about the type of work and experience that it requires. Remember to focus on what you can contribute to them, not what they can do for you.  \nThe closing paragraph reiterates your gratefulness of their time and consideration. Either here, or in your closing, thank the employer for their time. Restate your phone number and e-mail address in case this becomes separated from your resume.  \nSincerely,  \nYour Signature Here Your Name Typed  \nIf you are sending this letter as an email, you can sign your letter by scanning your signature and placing it in the closing line.  \nSample Cover Letter \\#1  \nEmma Saint  \n400 The Fenway, Box\\#007 Boston, MA 02115  \nOctober 4, 2021  \nMs. Sandra Bellows  \nRecruiting Coordinator NewsImage, Inc.  \n546 West 23rd Street New York, NY 10001  \nDear Ms. Bellows,  \nAfter speaking with you at the Emmanuel College Internship Fair, I became very interested in applying for the Summer 2013 NewsImage – Media Internship. The opportunity to develop core competencies in content management, marketing, and design is the reason that I have a strong interest in this internship. I firmly believe that my experiences in journalism and communications have adequately prepared me for this opportunity.  \nAs a junior majoring in English Communications and a self-taught freelance photographer, I have developed my talent for determining aesthetic quality and what makes an image appealing to others. Serving as a sports reporter for The Hub, Emmanuel College’s newspaper, I have been able to adapt my design talents to meet the demanding expectations of journalistic writing. Having written over 40 articles, and assumed responsibilities as a Sports Editor, I am certain that my skills in organization, design, and content management would be valuable in the Media Internship with NewsImage.  \nI have often looked to supplement my academic pursuits with purposeful professional experiences. My previous work experience includes serving as a Teaching Assistant and Treasurer of the Emmanuel College Journalism Society. Balancing the competing timelines of my activities in the classroom and beyond has required that I learn how to work expeditiously without sacrificing the quality of my academic work, which would transfer well to the internship experience with NewsIm","cbCair82SMO0Dgpq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair82SMO0Dgpq","pdf",168794,"English","# Sample Cover Letter Format\n## Addressing the recruiter\n## Opening paragraph\n## Second paragraph: skills and qualifications\n## Third paragraph: fit for the job\n## Closing paragraph and signature\n# Sample Cover Letter #1\n## Internship interest and relevant experience\n# Sample Cover Letter #2\n## Assistant product manager interest and skills","[{\"question\":\"How should a cover letter address a recruiter, and what should be included in the header?\",\"answer\":\"Use “Ms.” for a female and “Mr.” for a male unless they have a formal title such as Doctor.
