Cover Letter Best Practices
Follow these proven strategies to make your cover letter stand out from the competition
Customize Every Letter
Tailor each cover letter to the specific job. Generic letters are easy to spot and often discarded immediately.
Lead with Value
Start with what you can offer, not what you want. Show immediate relevance to the role and company.
Keep It Concise
Aim for 3-4 paragraphs and under 400 words. Hiring managers appreciate brevity and clarity.
Quantify Achievements
Use numbers and percentages to demonstrate impact. "Increased sales by 30%" beats "improved sales."
Mirror Job Keywords
Naturally incorporate terms from the job description. This helps with ATS systems and shows you read the posting.
Show Genuine Interest
Research the company and mention specific reasons you want to work there. Authenticity resonates with hiring managers.
