Three Things Every Cover Letter Should DoEvery cover letter should include the name of the position for which you are applying and where you saw it advertised. It’s usually best to include this information in the first letter of your cover letter so that your potential employer knows what you are applying for and how you found out about the position. Keep in mind that they are probably hiring for more than one position, especially if it is a larger company. Your cover letter should also add value to your resume. That means that it shouldn’t just repeat the information on your resume in a letter. In order to add value, your cover letter needs to have new information in it. The cover letter should be personalized and form a bridge between your “standardized” resume and the position you are applying for. Let your cover letter show how your background is relevant to your resume. Last, use your cover letter to preview your resume. If your cover letter is written well, the potential employer is more likely to read your resume. Use your cover letter to tease the employer and encourage them to read your resume.
