Cover Letter Worksheet
Cover letters should be only one page in length and will serve as an example of your writing abilities. Use a professional and confident tone while also conveying your personality and enthusiasm for the position. Make sure the letter is targeted to that particular employer.
Always proofread before sending.
Your cover letter does not need to be a recap of your resume.
Highlight your education and experiences. Using examples, identify specific skills and past experiences that are relevant to the position you are seeking. The outline below will help you.
