How to write a cover letter that stands out

The cover letter is your chance to explain, in a few lines, why you're the ideal candidate. Done well, it complements your resume and sets you apart.

A 4-part structure

• ›Greeting and the role you're applying to.
• ›Why you're interested in that company.
• ›Your achievements relevant to the role.
• ›Close with a call to action.

Key tips

Keep it short (half a page), personalize it per company, avoid repeating your resume and use a professional yet warm tone. Never reuse the same generic letter for everything.
