How to write a cover letter that gets noticed
A strong cover letter does three things: shows you understand the role, connects your specific experience to what the employer needs, and gives a reason to read your resume closely. Avoid restating your resume line by line — instead, pick one or two achievements and explain the impact they had.
A few things to avoid:
- Starting with "I am writing to apply for..." in every single letter — try to open with something more specific to you or the role.
- Sending the exact same letter to every company without changing the company name or any specifics — hiring managers can tell.
- Making it longer than one page. Three to four short paragraphs is usually enough.
- Repeating your resume word-for-word instead of adding context or a story behind your results.
Do you always need a cover letter?
Not every application requires one, but including a short, well-written cover letter rarely hurts and can help you stand out — especially for roles with many applicants or when a posting explicitly asks for one. If a posting says a cover letter is optional, a good one can still be a differentiator.
