Introduce yourself and state your major and year at UH. State the reason for your letter including job title, resource from which you heard about the vacancy, job listing number, (if there is one) and any other pertinent information to ensure the employer understands what job you want.\nIndicate in the second paragraph your interest in the company, job and why you think you are qualified for the position and how it relates to your own interests or experiences. Match up your qualifications with those listed as required on the job description, if it is an advertised job. A formal letter is obvious to an employer, so write a customized letter for each employer/job. Emphasize the aspects of your education, experience, special skills, etc. that are relevant to the position. You may refer to your enclosed resume, but do not duplicate the exact wording of your resume. Keep it concise and only use about 4-6 sentences.\nThe last short paragraph is only a few sentences in which you express your interest in providing additional information during a personal interview. Thank them for their time and consideration.\nSincerely,\nSignature\nName\nCover Letter Tips\nCustomize the cover letter for a specific employer and job description. Templates are easy to spot and reflect poorly on your interest in the position.\nAddress the letter to a specific individual. If no name was given in the job announcement, call the organization to learn who is on the hiring team. If all else fails, use “Dear Hiring Manager:” or “Dear Search Committee:”\nIsolate three or four skills that you possess that are relevant to the position and mention concrete examples from your resume that demonstrate these skills.","cbCaipKiiByP519i","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipKiiByP519i","docx",30768,"English","# Composing a Cover Letter\n## Header and Recipient Information\n## Opening Paragraph Requirements\n## Qualifications and Company Fit\n## Closing Paragraph and Signature\n# Cover Letter Tips\n## Customization for Each Employer\n## Correct Addressing\n## Highlighting Relevant Skills","[{\"question\":\"What should the cover letter header include?\",\"answer\":\"Copy the resume header with your name, location, email, and phone number, then add the date, the addressee’s name and title, and the company name and mailing address.\"},{\"question\":\"How long should the opening paragraph be and what should it contain?\",\"answer\":\"Keep it brief (2–4 sentences).
