How do you write a cover letter for a job description?

  4. encourage the reader to read your resume.

What is a basic cover letter?

How do you avoid a cover letter?

Mistake #1: Don’t Overuse “I” Your cover letter is not your autobiography. The focus should be on how you meet an employer’s needs, not on your life story. Avoid the perception of being self-centered by minimizing your use of the word “I,” especially at the beginning of your sentences.

How do you ask a company if they are hiring?

  3. Be prepared.
  4. Time it just right.
  5. Keep a resume handy.
  6. Relax.
