Dear Hiring Manager, I'm excited to submit my application for the Position role at Company Name. As an experienced title with X years of experience, I'm confident that I have the 1-2 specific skills and qualifications from the job description necessary to excel in this position.
Your cover letter should articulate your qualifications and motivation for the position. Read the job description closely and research the organization. As you craft your cover letter, use examples that demonstrate your relevant skills, knowledge, and interests.
How can I write a killer first opening sentence in a cover letter? Opening/My interest in the position (``Here's why this job sounds exciting to me!'') Why I am a good fit for the job (``Here's something that makes me qualified that you don't see on my resume'' and/or ``Here's what I can offer you'')
Share Being overly formal. Being too informal. Using a stock cover letter. Saying too much. Forgetting to proofread. Bragging. Focusing too much on yourself. Clumsy language.
Some of the best opening lines for a formal letter include: ``I am writing to inform you...'' ``I am writing in regards to...'' ``I am writing to express my interest in...'' ``I am writing to request...'' ``I am writing to discuss...'' ``I am writing to follow up on...'' ``I am writing to confirm...''
State clearly in your opening sentence the purpose for your letter and a brief professional introduction. Specify why you are interested in that specific position and organization. Provide an overview of the main strengths and skills you will bring to the role.
Job Title & Accomplishments This is a very common and effective way to start out a cover letter. The idea is to get straight to the point and impress the employer with your background. Use your most impressive and most relevant accomplishment stories to explain your worth.
Show you've done your research into the job and the company. highlight your most relevant skills and experience to stand out from other applicants. back up any statements you make with facts and use the STAR method. double check spelling and grammar before you send it.
Example: I'd like to officially apply for the marketing manager position at Company X. Over the past 7 years, I've worked with 6 clients, helping them drive more than $2,000,000 worth of sales. I am confident that my marketing skills and proven sales results make me a perfect match for the position.
