Cover Letter Instructions, Template and Sample

 

These are some helpful questions to ask about your cover letter before submitting your job application:

  • Does your cover letter enhance your job search packet?
  • Is your cover letter an effective marketing tool by itself?
  • Is your cover letter customized to the job you are applying to?
  • Is your cover letter the same paper stock and follow the same heading format as your resume?
  • Is your cover letter addressed to an individual, and is the name spelled correctly? (When in doubt, call and ask for the correct spelling of the recipient's name.)
