Cover letters. As much as they require more work, cover letters are a great opportunity to cover qualifications we can't fully explain in our resumes. In addition, they help personalize job applicants to enable them to come across more as...

This is the best checklist I have seen because it covers the most important aspects in a cover letter.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Wondering whether your cover letter is the best it can be? Make sure you can answer "yes" to the questions on this checklist.

Many job seekers struggle with their cover letters, but writing a good cover letter is a skill that can be learned and perfected. The time and effort will pay off, because a well-written cover letter can increase your odds of getting an interview.

If you're wondering whether your cover letter is the best it can be, make sure you can answer "yes" to the questions on this checklist:

Introduction

Does your cover letter have a strong opening paragraph, communicating your job target and key strengths within the first few lines of text?

Does your cover letter conform to a standard business letter format? (See our cover letter samples.)

Is your cover letter addressed to a specific individual, if the name is available?

The body

Does the body of your cover letter express how you would benefit the employer if you were hired?

Do you avoid starting every sentence with "I" or "my" so you can focus more on the employer's requirements and not your own?

Do you demonstrate your expertise by using industry-specific language?

Do you include examples of your accomplishments so employers can see you have a proven track record?

Is the content engaging and relevant to hiring managers' needs?

Is the cover letter succinct, containing just enough information to entice the reader to review your resume?

Did you include all information that was requested, such as a job reference number, employment availability date and salary requirements?

Is the content unique? Did you avoid copying text from your resume verbatim?

Does your cover letter sound genuine? Does it reflect your personality and make you seem likeable and approachable?

Did you proofread your cover letter to ensure that it's free of spelling, grammar, syntax and formatting errors?

Does the writing style and design coordinate with the resume, such as by using the same font and layout style?

Closing paragraph

Did you provide an easy way for employers to contact you, such as a direct phone line and email address?

Does your cover letter end with a call to action, confidently requesting an interview?

Did you remember to sign your letter if you're mailing a hard copy?

A resume without a cover letter is like a burger without a bun. If you really wanted a job from somebody, you wouldn't send them a burger without a bun, would you? Of course not.

Step 1: Address to specific person
Address the letter to a specific person. Writing 'to whom it may concern' is lazy—tracking down the right person shows real moxie.

Tip
If you’re unsure who to write, call the company and ask. Make sure you get their exact title and the correct spelling of their name.

Step 2: Open with introduction
Open your letter with a short introduction that gets right to the point—say what position you’re after and how you found out about it.

Step 3: Demonstrate knowledge of company
Demonstrate that you understand what the company does, and show enthusiasm for whatever that is.

Tip
Read through the company’s website to find details you can mention in your letter.

Step 4: Relate past experience
Relate your past work experience to the current opening. Don’t count on employers to connect the dots and realize how your previous jobs are relevant.

Step 5: Mention specific things
If you’re responding to a job posting, adapt your writing to address specific things mentioned in the post.

Tip
Keep your cover letter short and concise. It shouldn’t be longer than a page. A few brief paragraphs is enough.

Step 6: Mention attachments
If you are attaching additional materials, like a portfolio or a reel, mention that at the end of the letter.

Step 7: Add suitable closing
After thanking your reader, sign off with a suitable closing, like 'Sincerely' or 'Best.' And type your name on the next line.

If you’re mailing your letter, leave four blank lines between your closing and your typed name so you have room for your signature.

Step 8: Include contact information
Make sure you’ve included all your contact information, even if it’s already on your resume.

Step 9: Proofread letter
Proofread your letter carefully, word by word. Have a friend read it over. At least twice.

Tip
If you’re emailing the letter, send it to yourself first to make sure there are no formatting errors.

Step 10: Send letter
Send your letter!

And rest assured that your extra care will set you apart from the crowd.

Did You Know?
The average cover letter is in an employer’s hands for eight seconds.
