It is intended to accompany the associated Career Leadership Personal Branding video.  \nThough names have been changed, the following pages contain actual student cover letter examples that were volunteered by students who have gone before you. Career Development does not represent that these are perfect letters; the reality is, there is no such thing as a“perfect” cover letter.  \nA better way to describe these letters is that they were “successful” letters in the sense that, along with their accompanying resumes, they generally achieved the goal of, at least, garnering an interview, with many of these outreaches culminating in job offers.  \nThis collection provides a strong sample of cover letters that represent a diversity of styles, experiences, and voice. Yet, each of them contains the core elements of successful cover letters.  \nWe hope you fi nd these examples helpful as you work on your own cover letters. You are, of course, encouraged to work with your career coach if you would benefit from a tailor resume and/or cover letter review for applications you are undertaking – particularly early on in your tenure.  \nExcellent Cover Letter Structure and Hygiene*  \n1. Include 5 Paragraphs  \nA great cover letter should include these five components:  \nAn Introduction  \nThe introduction should be a short paragraph that gives a brief overview of your background, the position you are applying for, and gives an overview of the skills you’ll highlight through the rest of the letter.  \nTwo Paragraphs That Tell Two Stories  \nEach story should highlight your ability to drive impact by solving a specific problem. Start your story by sharing the context of the problem you faced, then talk about the specific actions you took, and finally end with the results you achieved. Focus one story on your hard (read: analytical) skills, and one on your soft (ex: leadership) skills. These stories could also take the form of a series of bullets as the cover letter examples below illustrate.  \nWhy You’re A Good Fit For X Firm  \nThis is where you tailor your cover letter to the specific fi rm you’re targeting. This 4th paragraph of your cover letter should reference at least one person atthe firm with whom you’ve spoken (if at all possible), and expound upon what you learned about the firm in that conversation that draws you to apply.  \nDon’t focus on what you’ll get out of the experience. Focus on how you know you’ll be a good cultural fit. The only credible way to communicate this is by having talked to someone at the firm (and ideally the offices you’re targeting) .  \nConclusion  \nTie your previous professional experiences and extracurriculars together to reinforce why you’ll be a great consultant. End by thanking the reader for their time and consideration.  \n2. Use Anecdotes and Details  \nAvoid sounding generic with the descriptions of your past experiences.  \nDetails will help you stand out amongst the sea of candidates.  \nFor instance, here’s a bad example: “My previous experiences and projects have given me a strong set of leadership skills.”  \nInstead, say something like: “As a Business Development Analyst at Facebook, I led a team of five on an internal initiative that reduced our group’s budget by 25% over one quarter. Convincing key stakeholders to reduce their own budget for the sake of the greater good was not easy, but the project sharpened my ability to overcome conflicts and arrive at consensus.”  \n3. Keep It To One Page  \nGoing over 1 page is the cardinal sin of cover letters. Anything longer than one page will be automatically discarded. Your cover letter should demonstrate that you’re able to communicate in a concise manner. Firms receive a lot of cover letters, so the last thing they want to read is your entire life story. Keep your cover letter to one page, max.  \nThe cover letter is ","cbCaimAcOzrMAp6g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAcOzrMAp6g","pdf",610520,20,"English","# Excellent Cover Letter Structure and Hygiene\n## Include 5 Paragraphs\n## Use Anecdotes and Details\n## Keep It To One Page\n## Do Your Research\n## Use a Personal Tone\n## Get Your Cover Letter Reviewed by Others\n## Submit and Send as a PDF","[{\"question\":\"What are the five paragraph components of an excellent MBA recruiting cover letter?\",\"answer\":\"Include a short introduction, two story paragraphs that show impact (one for hard/analytical skills and one for soft/leadership skills), a tailored fit paragraph referencing conversations with the firm, and a conclusion thanking the reader and reinforcing fit for the role.\"},{\"question\":\"Why should applicants use anecdotes and specific details instead of generic claims?\",\"answer\":\"Specific details help the writer stand out and make achievements believable.
