The Society for Human Resources surveyed organizations on resumes, cover letters,
and interviews and found the top three things that must be included in a cover letter
are:
● How a candidate’s work experience meets job requirements.
● How a candidate’s skills meet job requirements.
● Why a candidate wants to work at the organization.
Your cover letter needs to provide this information and leave
the reader convinced that you are the right person for the job.

Read Job Description Carefully
• Write down/highlight key words, phrases and use that in your letter to state how you can HELP them, not how they can help you
• Take what they are looking for and put in sentences how you meet these needs
• Provide examples of how you have the skills they need
• Research Company– Google Search– LinkedIn– Company website– Find mission statement, values, interesting facts, people in charge– Use this in your cover letter
