Writing a Cover Letter
Ashdown people
What makes a good cover letter?
A cover letter should be an engaging summary of your resume and not simply say the same thing in a different format. Aim to tell a story which shows that you understand the role and states why you would be great fit for the company.
Cover letters should not just be a repeat of your resume in a different form, and you should use a different cover letter for each role as every role is unique.
When writing a cover letter, you should include:
An opening statement (make yourself stand out from everyone else)
Understanding of the role (show you know how the role fits into their company/industry)
The story behind and beyond the resume (don’t simply repeat it in a different format)
Why they should hire you (what do you bring to the company)
A call to action (asking for an interview or meeting)
How long should a cover letter be?
Keep it short, no more than one page. A cover letter is meant to be a summary of your resume for the hirer to quickly read through to develop an understanding of what you would bring to their company.
