5. Especially for job seekers or whoever need that things

Tip #1: Format your cover letter strategically.

The look and feel of your cover letter should match the look and feel of
your resume so if you have your name in big bold font with your contact
information right below that on your resume, place that same information
on your cover letter. This will let the Hiring know that these two documents
go together. After your name and contact information, include the date
and then the contact information for the hiring official. Then add a
customized greeting like "Dear Mr. John Doe" and if you're unable to find
the name of the hiring official you can put something like "Dear Hiring
Manager" and if you're wondering how to create a winning resume to go
along with your knock out cover letter, I created a video that will help you
do just that. I'll go ahead and link it up below.
Tip #2: Include a strong introductory paragraph

You want to start with a strong introductory sentence that explains what position you

are applying for and exhibits the passion you have for the company and the position.

Now you only have a few seconds to grab the attention of the hiring official, so you

don't want to start with a generic statement like, "please accept this letter as

application for the position of...". Rather, mention why you want to work for the

company and what makes the company unique to you.

Tip #3: Show them that you are the solution

In the second paragraph, explain how your skills and expertise are the perfect match
for the position. Pinpoint your most relevant qualification and your most important
career accomplishments and discuss them in detail. This will clearly demonstrate what
you can bring to the position and how you are the solution the

company is looking for and to gain greater insight into what the company's pain
points are, make sure you review the job posting carefully and review the company’s
website and their activity on social media. This will also help you place important
keywords and phrases throughout your cover letter.

Tip #4: Share your story

Now is the time to explain your skills and talents in action. To really stand out
from all the other candidates, include a story about you that relates to the position
you are applying for. Give clear and direct examples of your greatest accomplishment
. Today more than ever you need to show your reader who you really are. You could
even include a funny story. humor is a great way to captivate your audience, just
make sure that you include your skills your expertise and your talents in the story.
 Tip #5: Give a call to action

In the final paragraph of your cover letter, include a clear and concise conclusion that
gives some type of call to action such as a reference to your resume or an invitation for
an interview or a time that works best for you to talk. The purpose of the call to action is
to get the hiring official to take some type of action and to let them know that you are
excited and eager about the opportunity. You want to then enter with a nice friendly
close such as "warm regards" and then sign your name.
