1
Open with a strong hook — state the role and one specific reason you’re excited about this company.
2
Include at least one measurable accomplishment (%, $, numbers) in the body — this makes you memorable.
3
Address the letter to a real person whenever possible. LinkedIn is a great place to find the hiring manager’s name.
4
Mirror language from the job description. ATS systems scan cover letters for keyword matches.
5
End with a clear call to action: express your intent to follow up or invite them to schedule a meeting.
