Unlike a resume which focuses on the breadth of your experience, cover letters are meant to go into depth about several key skills relevant to the position you are applying for.  \nCover Letter Templates  \nFull Name  \n(123)-[888-8888 | H@gmail.com| linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname | YourOnlinePortfolioOrWebsite.com](888-8888 | H@gmail.com| linkedin.com/in/firstnamelastname | YourOnlinePortfolioOrWebsite.com)  \nDate  \nMr./Ms. ABC DEFG (Try to include a name of a person at the company if possible) Title  \nCompany Name Street Address  \nCity, State & zip code Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name:  \nOpening Paragraph  \n􀁸 Introduce yourself and the purpose of your letter  \n􀁸 Write why you want to work at that organization (be specific, if you are applying to Nike, don’t say you want to work there because you like sports, say something specific about that brand)  \n􀁸 State what position you are applying for and how you learned of the opportunity  \n􀁸 If you have networked with anyone at the organization, mention who you spoke to and why that convinced you to apply  \n􀁸 Write what skills you will bring to the organization, not how you will benefit from the position  \nMiddle Paragraphs (there should be no more than two of these paragraphs)  \n􀁸 In the first sentence of each paragraph, introduce the one to two skills that prove that you’re a good fit  \n􀁸 In the following sentences describe the places you have demonstrated that skill (ex: internships, work, school etc. )  \n􀁸 Choose one to two or examples/stories that illustrate how you used that skill and how it added value to the organization  \nClosing Paragraph  \n􀁸 Thank the hiring manager for their time  \n􀁸 Re-express your interest in the role  \n􀁸 Demonstrate knowledge of the employer  \n􀁸 Mention that you look forward to hearing from them. For e.g. \"I look forward to hearing back from you and your team\"  \nSincerely,  \nFirst Name Last Name  \nCover Letter Checklist  \nBefore sending out your cover letter, always double (and triple) check to make sure everything is accurate, true, grammatical, spelled correctly, and the best representation of you for that position. Use this checklist to ensure you have the basics for a good application.  \nFORMATTING & LAYOUT  \n  Cover letter is 1 page or less.  \n  Name is at the top, big, bold, and clear.  \n  Text is between sizes 10-12.  \n  Text is legible in a readable font.  \n  Margins are balanced and between 0.5-1 inch wide.  \n  Cover letter is organized and easy to read.  \n  Header matches the resume header and includes my name and contact info.  \n  Address the letter \"Dear Mr./Ms. [Hiring Manager's name] . \" (If I don't know their gender,  \naddress the letter \"Dear [First + Last Name] .\" or Dear Hiring Committee)   Sign off cordially and formally with \"Sincerely.\"  \nWRITING & EDITING  \n  Everything is spelled correctly.  \n  Industry specific words are spelled correctly according to each company's preferences. (Is Communication supposed to have an \"s\"?)  \n  Cover letter is skimmable—you can discern my experience in 30 seconds or less.  \n  Everything is in the active voice.  \n  Use strong action verbs.  \n  Writing is clear and illustrative.  \n  Write to the audience (i.e. the hiring manager) .  \n  Writing is confident and engaging in a professional tone.  \n  It's short—between 200 and 350 words for the main text.  \nCONTENT  \n  Include the job title and company name in the body of the letter.  \n  Show interest in the company's work and goals.  \n  The skills and experience match the employer's requirements.  \n  Cover letter does not repeat, rehash, or summarize the resume.  \n  Expand upon the resume through anecdotes, examples, or short narratives.  \n  Anticipate and answer potential questions the hiring manager may have.  \n  Show accomplishments and results, not just tasks.  \n  Focus on what","cbCaisBT7PPzi1bV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisBT7PPzi1bV","pdf",673214,"English","# Cover Letters\n## Cover Letter Templates\n## Cover Letter Checklist\n## Formatting & Layout\n## Writing & Editing\n## Content\n## Sample Cover Letter","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of a cover letter compared with a resume?\",\"answer\":\"A cover letter provides context for the resume and explains how relevant experience was used in situations similar to the role.
