Final Advice

We've covered all of the key components for writing a cover letter. Before you submit your own, be sure to pay attention to the following:

  • Eliminate any grammatical or spelling mistakes. Attention to detail is important! Don't let the small yet important things jeopardize your chance of getting the job.
  • Ensure that your cover letter format is professional. Use a clear and professional font such as Times New Roman or Verdana, standard or 1 inch margins, and ensure all paragraphs are uniformly aligned on the page. Don't let a poor format distract the recruiter or hiring manager from focusing on the content of your cover letter.

Good Luck!
