Include all of your job history. Make sure you read the desirable qualifications and include anything from there in your job experience and SOQ.Try to include words like "generate," "deliver" and "execute" to show you're a strong candidate. Below are two cover letters to illustrate how a cover letter can be a total waste of everyone's time or instantly earn a call from a hiring manager. Use the same font and formatting in the cover letter as you use in your resume. • You might also want to use the same header in both a cover letter and resume. Four Paragraphs Minimum—Your letter should have at least an introductory paragraph, an education paragraph, an employment paragraph, and a concluding paragraph. Build paragraphs that support your overall point of why you are a strong match for the position to which you are applying. Resist the temptation to take a "fill-in-the-blank" approach based on the samples. Do not use the exact same language found in a sample.
