What to include in a cover letter
A useful cover letter is short, specific, and focused on the role. Use the template to organize your message into a few clear paragraphs.
- Your name and contact information
- The company name and role you are applying for
- A concise introduction that explains your interest
- One or two relevant accomplishments from your resume
- A simple closing with a clear next step
Keep it focused
Your cover letter should complement your resume, not repeat every detail. Pick the most relevant experience and show how it connects to what the employer needs.
