Then, we end the saga by giving you dozens of links to cover letter examples for specific professions. Use these if you want to go more in-depth on how to write a cover letter for a particular career path.

But first, here are…

3 Awesome Cover Letter Examples to Get the Gears Turning

Before we get to our guide on how to write a cover letter for a job, let’s get things started with three great sample cover letters.

One is for an experienced candidate, and another is for an entry-level applicant. The third one is a fill-in-the-blanks cover letter template for you to copy, paste, and use for yourself.

1. Experienced Cover Letter Example (Mid-Level Job)

In this first cover letter sample, we have a seasoned professional applying for a job she’s got experience in.

Annabel is an office assistant in New Jersey. For the unfortunate reason that her last office was shut down, she’s applying for a similar position at a new company.

Let’s look at how Annabel wins the office manager’s heart over with this cover letter example:

What’d you think?

In less than 300 words, Annabel has definitely created an attention-grabbing cover letter. She shows passion, plenty of experience, and accomplishments to all but secure her a desk and a filing cabinet.

2. Entry-Level Cover Letter Example (First-Time Job)

In this next example, we’re now going to see how to write a cover letter for a job with no experience in that field.

Here we have Thomas.

Thomas just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. He has no professional working experience in IT, but he is positive he would be a great fit nonetheless.

Let’s watch how he pulls this off:

How about that?

Thomas  has  had real-world working experience in the past, but his time employed as a barista was to help him get through college. Though he learned some great skills as a barista, they don’t help him much in getting the job as a software engineer.

However, he makes up for his lack of paid IT experience by showing he has the skills, knowledge, and passion for software engineering.

Use this style also when thinking of how to write a cover letter for an internship.

3. General Cover Letter Example (Fill-in-the-Blanks Template)

In the employment ad’s job responsibilities section, it says you require a [Job Title] with expertise in [List Competencies You Have Which Are Mentioned in the Job Advertisement].

Also, show your resume the same love and attention—it’s just as important if you want that interview. Read our guide here:  How to Write a Resume for a Job  

Otherwise, let’s continue—

Here is our step-by-step guide on….

How to Write a Cover Letter

1. format the cover letter before you begin writing.

Most employers prefer to read a resume if a cover letter comes attached.

And guess what?

Those same employers favor a cover letter which is arranged correctly.

Here’s how to format a cover letter effectively:

  • Align everything to the left side (block formatting), from beginning to end. Don’t use text justification.
  • Single line space all text (or use 1.15 line spacing).
  • Use a double space between each cover letter section and paragraph.
  • Include a  1-inch margin  on all sides of the cover letter.
  • Choose a great cover letter font . Select the font by how legible it is over how pretty it looks.
  • When in doubt, a cover letter is a business document, so follow formal letter formatting rules.
  • Pick a cover letter template that matches your resume template to give the employer one unified job application package.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, send them a cover letter PDF rather than Microsoft Word doc or another format. PDFs look better on more devices than Word cover letters.

Never let your cover letter spill over onto a  second page . One page is plenty. In general, the best cover letters are relevant, concise, and have a word count which doesn’t exceed 300 words.

A cover letter should be relatively simple: why you are interested in the position, why the company should be interested in you, and how you fit the job posting. A resume tells the reader where you’ve been while the cover letter tells them where you hope to go. Be authentic, keep that one thing in mind, and don’t overcomplicate it. Krystal Yates career transition mentor, SPHR, SHRM-SCP

Pro Tip:  If you choose a creative cover letter template with your personal details enlarged and styled to the center or right, don’t worry. Just make sure it matches your resume, and left-align the remainder of your job application letter.

2. Construct a Proper Header Including Your Info and Theirs

The header of a cover letter is quite simple—it’s basically like addressing a postcard. Just your deets, a date, and their info.

Here’s how to write an effective cover letter heading area:

  • On any formal letter, such as when writing a good cover letter, the sender’s information goes first. Include your name and address, to follow standard letter formatting rules. Add relevant contact information, such as your phone number, email address, or LinkedIn URL.
  • Leave a line break, then add the date of writing.
  • Finally, add the recipient’s information, including the name and job title of the person reviewing your application, followed by the company’s name and address.

This is what it looks like in practice:

[Your Job Title] (Optional)

[Hiring Manager’s Full Name]

[Hiring Manager’s Title]

Like I said, piece of cake, right?

Pro Tip:  Don’t worry about adding other contact details of the hiring manager or company; their name and address will do.

3. Open Using a Simple Salutation as a Greeting

Dear Jennifer:

The cover letter salutation sounds even easier than the heading, doesn’t it?

Not so fast.

There are a lot of nuances to be considered here.

Who to address a cover letter to?

  • Find the name of the hiring manager or recruiter, because  science says  people are more receptive to the sound of their own names.
  • Locate their names by searching LinkedIn, checking the job ad, or looking at the company’s about page online.
  • If those fail, give them a call!

First name or last?

If applying to a more traditional role, such as at a law firm or at a university, go with their title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.) and their last name to be on the safe side. Otherwise, using their first name is a great way to grab the reader’s attention.

How to address a cover letter with no name?

If you tried everything and can’t find the hiring manager’s name, go with “Dear hiring manager.” Replace “hiring manager” with a job title (e.g., “IT director,” “HR manager”) if you at least have that information.

If you aren’t happy with these options, go ahead and skip the salutation, jumping straight to the first paragraph. That’s much better than the universally despised “Dear sir or madam.”

Comma, semicolon, or colon?

Finally,  use a colon  (:) rather than a comma after your cover letter greeting. Save the commas for less-formal letters to your grandparents.

Pro Tip:  How to address a cover letter to two or more people? Separate each name as you would any comma-separated list (e.g., “Dear Jessica, John, and Jill:”). However, go in descending order by job title, listing the person who is highest in company rank first.

4. Start by Introducing Yourself and Stating the Position You’re Applying For

The opening of a cover letter sets the tone for what follows.

Bore them at your own peril.

Intrigue them, and they’ll be dying to read more.

How to write a cover letter opening paragraph that’ll keep you in the running?

Here’s how to make a cover letter intro:

  • It must introduce you to them as a candidate.
  • It needs to officially identify the position to which you’re applying.
  • It should give a quick overview of your professional background, skills, and experience.
  • It has to be relevant to the company and the particular position.

Let’s look at a sample customer service representative cover letter introduction:

I just happened across the opening for the customer service representative position at Swerve Media Group, and I’m excited at the chance to apply for the position. As a CSR for The Bright Agency for over two years, I’ve become well-versed in resolving conflict, assisting clients, and promoting upsells. I’m certain I have the patience, attentiveness, and personable nature needed to be a stellar customer service rep at Swerve.

As you can see, writing a cover letter is not rocket science.

This cover letter beginning is basic but it  will  deliver—it ticks all the boxes I mentioned above.

Pro Tip:  Cut any unnecessary or irrelevant sentences from your cover letter, whether it’s in your intro or later on. A cover letter should be brief and to the point. Save the hiring manager time while saving yourself time, and save some space while you’re at it.

Need more ideas for how to write a good cover letter introduction paragraph? There are a few effective hacks and strategies. You can get a bit creative, use enthusiasm, or name drop someone who referred you to this job. Check out our complete “beginners” tutorial here:  How to Start a Cover Letter: 25+ Introduction Examples & Ways to Open

5. Explain How the Company Benefits by Adding You to the Team

You’re applying for a job, and the hiring manager’s job is to assess how well you’d fit.

In the second paragraph, it’s time to show them you’re the best candidate they could possibly consider.

Refer to the job description.

The employment offer’s job requirements section tells you exactly the applicant they’re looking for.

Let them know their search is over.

Here’s a sample cover letter second paragraph continuing with our CSR job:

According to the job description I found on Indeed, you’re searching for a customer service representative with knowledge of the Salesforce customer relationship management software and who is able to resolve disputes and inquiries professionally. As a customer service representative at The Bright Agency, I used Salesforce on a daily basis, going even further to help train new colleagues on the CRM software. Furthermore, I had the highest client satisfaction rating (97.9%) based on closed cases. I am confident I could bring the same level of attentiveness and initiative to Swerve Media Group as the new CSR.

See how effective that is?

In this middle paragraph, we reiterate a few of the key qualifications they’re looking for according to the job ad. Then, we show them how we meet and exceed their expectations.

Let’s check out one more, this time using a slightly different format:

According to the job ad for the marketing position from LinkedIn, you’re searching for a digital marketer with a wide breadth of expertise in managing campaigns, social media marketing, content strategy, and SEO. At my last position at Smart Marketing Ventures, I had quite a few wins I’m proud of, including:

  • Increased website traffic on last 10 client websites by an average of 125% through combination of social media strategy and content marketing initiatives.
  • Improved year-over-year revenue for 5 online retailers by 30% on average, accounting for more than $57,000 in increased profit overall.
  • Boosted returning readers and customers by 23% through new marketing campaigns.

As you can see, I take my work seriously and care completely about the results I deliver on behalf of my company. Were you to hire me at The Jonas Agency, I would bring that same drive and commitment with me each and every day.

That one’s a bit longer, but it’s super impressive.

Use this bullet point style when you have multiple achievements with numbers to allow them to stand out and be readily seen. Great for jobs like sales, IT, or teaching, for example.

Write a cover letter like you would a marketing email. So instead of starting with, ‘I’m writing this letter to show my interest for the marketing job you have advertised,’ start it with something like this – ‘Looking for more leads? In my role at Google, I helped generate over 327 leads this year with an ROI of 217%.’ By giving a benefit of having you in the company with a concrete example of your success, you’ll captivate the reader and increase your likelihood of a response. Matt Dodgson Founder of Market Recruitment

Pro Tip:  Don’t echo your resume. A great cover letter should complement your resume rather than repeat its contents. A great use of a cover letter is also to explain any employment gaps which may be blatantly obvious on your resume.

Are you writing a cover letter in an email? Slightly different rules apply. Make sure you play by these:  Email Cover Letter: Sample, Proper Email Format, 20+ Tips

6. Show You’re Interested in Them Rather Than Any General Company

Don’t simply tell them how you’ll make their lives better.

Explain to them that  they’re  perfect for  you , as well.

Of course the company needs to know that you have the job skills, work experience, and professional background they’re seeking. However, they also want to hire someone who’ll enjoy coming to work for them and who’ll be a great fit on the team.

There are several ways to go about this:

Show love for the company, its products, or its history:

I’ve been a fan of Samsung products from my very first flip phone back when I was a teenager. Admittedly, part of that fond hindsight may be due to the fact that it helped me contact my high school crush on the weekends. However, I have been a Samsung devotee ever since, and I’m currently married to the Note 10 and engaged to that same high school crush (so thanks, Samsung!). I would be incredibly fortunate to be considered for the position at a company I’ve admired for more than a decade.

Display enthusiasm for the work you’ll be involved in:

My grandmother immigrated to New York from Bologna almost 50 years ago, and I used to enjoy helping her prepare dishes from her native Emilia-Romagna region when I was a little boy. The love of Italian food, particularly the flavors of this area, hasn’t left me. I’d be thrilled to be considered for the chef position at such a fabulous restaurant, especially one that keeps the tastes and smells of my grandmother’s kitchen alive as authentically as you do.

Demonstrate your willingness and readiness to take on their challenges:

Given the recent investment into your company by Angel Partners—congratulations, by the way!—your company has now allocated a large portion of it to your content marketing efforts. I happen to thrive under pressure and with tight deadlines, and I always make sure the quality of my work is never sacrificed for quantity. If you consider me for the copywriting position, I’m certain I would bring the same balance of high-quality writing and quick turnaround time you’re looking for.

What did you think of these three cover letter examples?

As you can see, there’s no one right way to go about it. Use creativity, bits of humor, even exclamation marks to believably highlight your enthusiasm.

The key thing here is to show them you’re interested in more than the money they’re offering, and you’ll be fine.

7. Make Your Offer by Crafting a Powerful Closing Statement

You’re almost there—

Time to wrap it up with a powerful and compelling cover letter closing paragraph.

How to end a cover letter effectively?

In the last paragraph of a cover letter, invite them to discuss further, request a meeting, and promise them all this greatness you’ve exemplified is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here is a simple cover letter closing example:

Would you have time for a quick phone call or meeting? I’d love to demonstrate how I could bring similar results (the 35% decrease in overhead) to your company.

That’s what you call “ending on a high note!”

Pro Tip:  There are two important things to keep in mind when ending a cover letter. Don’t come off needy (no begging!), and skip that tired phrase “thanks for your time and consideration” or any variation like it.

The cover letter ending paragraph is just a sentence or two, but it can make or break your job application. Don’t let that happen:  How to End a Cover Letter [20+ Examples of Great Closing Paragraphs]

8. Sign Off With a Complimentary Close and Your Name

Signing off on a cover letter is super straightforward and simple.

Here’s what it looks like:

Jessica Paris

Easy peasy.

“Sincerely” is the most standard complimentary close (also known as a  valediction ), but feel free to use other formal or semi-formal options, as well. “Regards,” “Yours Truly,” or “Thank You” work just fine, too.

Avoid anything too informal, such as “Peace,” “Cheers,” or “TTYL.” Just as you start a cover letter formally, end the cover letter formally, also.

Pro Tip:  If you’re handing in a physical copy of your cover letter, leave a few extra spaces between the complimentary closing and your name. Then, add a handwritten signature between for a stylish and professional flourish. If you know how, you can also include your digital signature for some bonus points.

9. Add a Postscript for One More Shot at Calling Their Attention to Your Offer

Thought you were done?

While you  could  end a cover letter here, there’s one nifty little trick that works wonders.

The postscript.

A postscript is meant to be used as a sort of written afterthought. However, you can use the P.S. statement on a cover letter to get one more word in edgewise.

You could use it to reiterate your value statement, like this:

P.S. I was instrumental in raising NPS scores by 30%, and I’d be happy to give you my plan for how I’d implement a similar overhaul at your company, as well.

Or, you could use it to show some early company spirit:

P.S. I know it’s early and I don’t want to be presumptuous. However, I found myself already trying on some black and gold outfits in anticipation!

Or, get them excited about meeting you:

P.S. By the way, I saw on the company’s about page that you enjoy pastries and good coffee. What would you think about meeting at Daily Provisions? They’ve got amazing donuts and the best espresso to wash it all down!

The sky’s the limit!

7+ Cover Letter Tips & How NOT to Write a Cover Letter

Here are cover letter tips and advice to smooth down the edges:

1. Don’t Write a Generic Cover Letter

If there’s only one thing you’ll remember from this guide, it should be this—

Always tailor your cover letter to one specific company and one particular job position.

Hiring managers can tell immediately if you created one generic cover letter and sent it all over the tri-state area. They throw those out.

If you want to save time, consider making a “master” cover letter. Using this, you can just do a few minor modifications prior to sending each cover letter and resume out.

Saves time while still feeling targeted!

If you want to learn how to write an all-purpose cover letter and get a few more master cover letter examples, check out this guide:  General Cover Letter that Isn’t Generic

2. Be Professional in Your Contact Details

When adding an email address, don’t use your old high school handle ( str8ballin69@… ). Use a respected email service such as Gmail, rather than one that makes you look ancient (sorry, AOL). Also, it’s disrespectful to use your current company’s email address as your contact email, so just don’t.

Finally,  fix your LinkedIn URL . Many people keep the one that’s given to them, such as  linkedin.com/in/john-smith-58914z7b . Take 30 seconds, go into your settings, and adjust the URL to just your name or something that represents you professionally.

3. Don’t Make the Cover Letter All About You

The application letter is meant to inform them just how well you match the company’s needs.

However, don’t make it all “I’m looking for such-and-such” or “I have this skill and that ability.”

Rather, say those things while bringing each around to the company’s point of view. If you have communication skills, explain to them how your ability to communicate effectively would benefit them.

4. Show Personality

The resume you wrote probably included fragmented sentences and nothing but fact after monotonous fact.

Let loose a bit on your cover letter to exhibit your human side. Don’t be afraid to tell an (appropriate) joke or let your passion shine through.

The cover letter is where you have the opportunity to showcase your personality a bit. Take a look at the company’s webpage and social media and mimic their style and culture. Always be authentic and yourself, but if you feel that there is a synergy to your personality and the organization’s philosophy or ethos, then the cover letter is where you can begin to illustrate that! Roy Munk President, GHS Recruiting

5. Use Keywords

Many organizations, particularly larger ones, use an ATS (applicant tracking system) to help them sort through and manage all the resumes and cover letters they get each day.

The ATS also has the added role of locating particular  keywords and phrases  the HR manager or recruiter searches for. The ATS then scores each resume and cover letter based on how well they match the job description.

If you’re a poor match, no interview.

So, look through the job description to identify the particular skills and experience they want. Work those keywords into your cover letter and resume for a job application sure to get a callback.

6. Refrain from Buzzwords and Jargon

You might know what it means.

And your potential future supervisor may understand it.

However, industry buzzwords and jargon often get lost in translation somewhere in the middle. Hiring managers often know just the basics about your particular role, since they recruit for multiple positions. Specific lingo from your niche will confuse them or mean nothing, at the very least.

7. Proofread

It sounds obvious, but this doesn’t stop a sizable portion of cover letters and resumes from having typos, dating errors, and other mistakes.

Use a spell checker and grammar checker such as Grammarly to be safe. Then, give it to a friend or family member for another once-over just in case.

It would be a shame to be super qualified but dismissed from the running for such a stupid oversight!

8. Prepare for the Interview!

By now, you know how to write a cover letter for a job application sure to get a reply and an interview offer.

There’s no time to waste—

Read our guide on  how to prepare for an interview , prepare yourself for the  common questions they’ll ask you , and  learn what to bring to your meeting .

How to Write a Cover Letter

Is a cover letter different from an application letter?

No. A cover letter is the same as an application letter. They have the same function, that of introducing you to a potential employer. Normally this is the first point that you get introduced to the potential employer. Hence a cover letter should show the best of you! Make sure that you put emphasis on the skills, experience and qualifications that make you the most suitable candidate for the advertised job.

Is it a must for an employer to request both a cover letter and a CV when advertising?

Yes. Usually a cover letter is included as a formal introduction providing information that expresses the applicant’s skills, experience and knowledge that they have regarding the job. A cover letter is normally a “gateway” to encourage the potential employer to read the full CV for more details about an applicant.

Though some adverts do not request a cover letter, it is always expected when a job advert is made. It is always included as a good practise. Cover letters are normally very comprehensive, emphasising the applicant’s skills, strengths and experience in order to attract potential employers.

Can an employer expect cover letters and CVs without putting out a job advert?

Yes. Though a cover letter and CV should be received in connection with an advert, some applicants who feel that they have skills and experience necessary to work in your organisation will take the initiative and attempt to apply, even without an advert. Some employers generate a database for such CVs for future reference when a vacancy materialises.

How To Write a Perfect Cover Letter For Jobs in Kenya

A perfect cover letter is one that can sell you to any employer without your presence.

This is the most important document, which introduces a job seeker to a prospective employer. It is usually accompanied with a CV and academic certificates.

In order to have a perfect cover letter, you must follow what recruiters expect from you. One of the most important aspects of a cover letter is that it MUST not be more than a single page.

I normally find job seekers writing a long cover letter, usually two pages, which clearly repeat what is already in the resume. What you should know is that no recruiter has time to read a long cover letter when he has over 20 cover letters from job applicants.

Employers in Kenya have become very strict due to the large number of Kenyans looking for employment. If you have a poorly written cover letter, know that your journey to employment is over.

The cover letter should have brief description of the job applicant, qualifications and work experience, and achievements. It MUST also have contacts of the applicant.

The following is a sample of a perfect cover letter for job seekers in Kenya

Edwin Penda,

P.O. Box 333, 000,

Tel: 000000012

P.O Box ….,

Dear Sir/Madam,

Ref: Application for the role of Finance Manager

With a proven track record of budgeting, payroll administration, taxation, and financial reporting, it’s a pleasure to submit my resume for Finance Manager position,Kenya.I believe that, upon review, you will recognize that my Finance and Accounting skills are exactly what your company needs to lead it to the next level.

An industrial attachment can provide you with valuable insights and hands-on learning opportunities.

However, to secure an attachment position in Kenya, you’ll need to write a compelling application letter.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crafting an effective application letter in Kenya that will grab the attention of potential employers.

Table of Contents

1. Crafting a Clear and Concise Subject Line

When composing your email, start with a subject line that captures the essence of your application. Keep it brief yet informative, so the recipient knows exactly what to expect.

2. Introduce Yourself and Express Your Interest

In the body of your email, begin by introducing yourself and expressing your sincere interest in the attachment position.

Provide a brief overview of your educational background and any relevant work experience you have accumulated thus far.

By Mark Namaswa, A cover letter is your prime selling point before you secure an audience with the potential employer. The cover letter plays the primary goal of introducing you, your expertise and what you have to offer, however, you can customize it every time you wish to apply for a different job according to what the job advertisement demands.

For example, sales jobs cut across a wide scope from insurance premiums to cars, or even advertisement in magazines and newspapers.

Peter Musembi, PO Box 2557, Nairobi.

December 15th, 2014.

The Human Resource Manager, ABC Marketing Group, PO Box 55667, Nairobi. Dear Sir/Madam

RE: APPLICATION FOR THE POSITION OF SALES EXECUTIVE In response to your recent advertisement for the post of a Sales Executive, I present my job application for your consideration. I am driven by a strong desire to deliver sales targets to the company and edged on by my ability to create connections for the purpose of closing sales, I am certain to prove a vital asset to your institution.

I am also a results-driven professional whose mission is to increase your company’s profitability and productivity. I have previously interned at Strategic Marketers where my track record of exceeding targets remains noted. I was able to successfully create Business Plans, assess market trends, negotiate terms and close deals. These included selling advertisement space to clients both in print and TV as well as generating creating a fresh pool of client advertisers. I am also keen to respond to customers’ queries as well relating well with colleagues.

My skills, as outlined in detail in my CV, also extend to include both developing new markets while strengthening the existing ones as well as selling a wide variety of products the company might come up with. These attributes combined with my client-oriented approach and positive attitude, I believe, make me the perfect fit for the job.

I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you and further discuss the value I could bring to your reputable banking establishment. I can be contacted through my number and address provided below.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider my application.

Sincerely, (Signature) Peter Musembi
