How to write a good cover letter

Start by listing your name and address -  As with many standard business letters, you should include a few pieces of information at the top of your cover letter.

Include the date -  Include the date of the day you are sending the letter. The date line should be separated from your address and the recipient’s address.

List the recipient’s name and address -  After the date, you will list the recipient’s name and information. You can find these details by looking at the company’s website or Indeed Company Page.

Open with an introduction -  Start by introducing your letter with a standard greeting like ‘Dear’ or ‘Hello’.

Include an opening paragraph about your intent to apply - Write an introductory paragraph that includes the position you are applying for. You should also include a statement about your enthusiasm in regard to the role and company.

Write a second paragraph about your background -  Your second or body paragraph should be a brief overview of your background as is relevant to the position.

Focus on another reason why you are qualified in the next paragraph -  Instead of repeating details from your resume, expand on specific stories or anecdotes that display your fitness for the role.

Conclude with reasons why you are uniquely qualified -  Keep the conclusion brief and explain that you look forward to hearing from the employer.
