How to Write a Cover Letter That Sounds Like You (and Gets Noticed)

by  Elainy Mata

May 10, 2022

I hate cover letters. They add so much stress to the already uncomfortable and grueling job hunt. Every time I’m writing one, I find myself wondering: Do people even read these?

Unfortunately, the answer is “yes.” But, there are some ways to make the process a little less terrible. I asked Amy Gallo, Harvard Business Review editor and author of “ How to Write a Cover Letter ,” for her advice. From doing the research, to starting off strong, to emphasizing your value — Gallo taught me exactly what I need to do to get my cover letters noticed by hiring managers. I even wrote a new cover letter that has her blessing. (Scroll down if you’re in need of an expert-approved example.)

ELAINY MATA: So you want to know how to tackle the cover letter. I do too. I actually really hate cover letters. I hate cover letters. I hate cover letters.

But the cover letter is important. It’s time to face our fears, and just figure out how in the world we are actually going to write it.

I got you, and we’re going to do this together. These tips are going to help you go through the process a lot easier. So if you are ready to tackle the cover letter, stick around and keep watching.

In front of me right now are three cover letters that I’ve written in the past, for three different jobs. And I’m just embarrassed. I’m embarrassed to read these.

To whom it may concern, to whom it may concern, to whom it may concern.

I would like to respectfully submit this cover letter.   I would like to respectfully submit this cover letter.

I am a passionate, detail-oriented person. I am passionate, detail-oriented person.

This sounds like I’m — this doesn’t sound like me at all. I think you want me to talk this way. Here we go like. Hire me.

I talked to Amy Gallo, an HBR editor, and the author of one of our most popular articles, “How to Write a Cover Letter.”

AMY GALLO: First of all, you’re not alone. I write about how to write cover letters, and I also hate them.

ELAINY MATA: She’s done the research. She’s talked to the experts. And I’m going to tell you exactly what she told me.

Make it one page

ELAINY MATA: So how long does a cover letter actually have to be? Just one page, one.

AMY GALLO: Don’t play with the font, and make it like eight point font, and like make your margins really wide. Just really figure out what is the most essential things that need to go on one page.

Do research, find a name

ELAINY MATA: This should be a no-brainer, but let’s get specific. Let’s say you’re applying for a job here, at Harvard Business Review. Go on the company’s website, go to their “About Us” section, and read what they’re about, see their mission statement, see their tone, see what that company is actually looking for, and what they stand for.

So you’ve got the broad stuff, but let’s dig a little bit deeper. What is the company that you’re applying for talking about now? You should actually go into their LinkedIn, their Twitter, see what they’re sharing, see who are they’re talking to, see what they’re talking about, so you can get a sense of what is currently happening. Lastly, find that hiring manager. It is so much better to address your cover letter to an actual person and a name rather than, to whom it may concern. So I have to kind of creep a little bit, and be like a private investigator.

AMY GALLO: Yeah, creeping is definitely part of the process. Usually, with LinkedIn, you can see who’s posted the job, who is sharing it with their network. You may not know for sure that that’s the hiring manager, but at least it’s a little more personable. Sometimes, I’ve heard people just reach out and say, “Who’s the hiring manager for this job? I’d like to address my cover letter to that person.”

Start strong

ELAINY MATA: You’ve probably written this 100 times before. “Hi, my name is this. I’m based here, and I’m applying for this job.” No, no, no, no, don’t do that. The hiring manager has a stack of cover letters. So you have to write yours to grab their attention. Amy, can you please give me an example of a strong, bold, opening line for cover letter. I promise I won’t steal it.

AMY GALLO: You’re allowed to steal it. Anyone should be able to steal it:

“I saw your listing on this website, and I was thrilled to see it, because it’s exactly the kind of job I’ve been looking for to apply my skills in X.”

Write something that’s short, to the point, but shows both enthusiasm, as well as experience that’s relevant to the job.

Emphasize your value

ELAINY MATA: Figure out what problem the company is facing. They’re hiring for a reason. Figure out what that reason is, and how you can best solve that problem. Amy also found the top two qualities that people generally look for is adaptability, and the ability to learn quickly.

How about if I just got out of college, and I’m looking at these jobs that are asking for three to five years or more of experience. How can I write a cover letter if I feel like I don’t have enough to write about?

AMY GALLO: Yeah, so that’s a good question, because the cover letter shouldn’t be focused so much on the past. That’s the resume’s job. The cover letter is really about the future. So how are you going to take what’s in that resume, your past, and apply it to where you’re going.

Convey enthusiasm, not desperation

ELAINY MATA: This is really hard to balance. You want to show them that you’re excited to work there, and that you’re going to bring a lot of energy to the team. But don’t be too strong, because over eagerness can actually work against you.

Find a proofreader

AMY GALLO: Write the letter you want to write. Then share it with someone else, someone who knows you well, but someone who also will tell you like it is. We’re not good judges of our own writing.

ELAINY MATA: So getting a second pair of eyes will help you look for any errors, typos, and most importantly, they can tell you if you make sense.

Amy, this sounds like a lot. Is there even like a sort of a shortcut to this, or a sort of scalable way that I can do this for multiple different jobs?

AMY GALLO: I mean, you’ve probably heard the phrase looking for a job is a full-time job. It does take a lot of time. You’re tweaking some things. You’re not writing a whole new letter. So you’re going to have a template. Write your best cover letter for the first job you apply for. Share that with your friend to check the tone. Do the research on the company, right? Do that the first time. Then and adjust the cover letter accordingly. Does that seem more reasonable?

ELAINY MATA: Yes, much more reasonable.

So my task is to apply for a job here at HBR, and to write a new cover letter using the advice that Amy gave me. Let’s do it.

This is hard. I never said it was going to be easy, maybe easier than what you were doing before, but definitely not easy.

The first draft

Dear Maureen and hiring team,

I saw your listing on Linkedln and am excited because this is exactly the job that I’ve been looking for to showcase my skills in video production and production management to assist the creative center in producing compelling content.

Working in news and movie production has taught me to hear an idea and a concept and be able to fully plan out the logistics needed to make the desired final visual product. I have been able to work with software like Adobe Creative Suite and TriCaster, and have worked with other team members to write scripts and compose story boards.

Being part of the Creative Center team will give me the challenges to grow as a skilled producer and assist in production, help the production planning process, create a quick tum around for video publication, and manage content.

AMY GALLO: You did well on length. It is very short. That’s good.

ELAINY MATA: My gosh.

AMY GALLO: I read this, I’m like, that first sentence is spot on. And then it gets a little bit stilted. And then it goes into what’s probably on your resume. And I want a little more personality.

The final draft

ELAINY MATA: So Amy, after many back and forths — How do you think I did?

AMY GALLO: All right. So I’m looking at it right now. And I think you did a really good job.

You’ve got the main components here. There’s some personality in it. There’s some flattery in it about the company you’re applying to, but it’s not like over the top. I have to tell you, I would have you in. I think it’s a great letter.

ELAINY MATA: That’s it for me. I wrote the cover letter. You got to see the whole process. And I feel like I definitely have a better outlook on how to approach it. These are not easy to write, so good luck out there. Watch as many times as you can. Practice makes perfect. I’ll see you soon.

Cover letter example 

I was so excited to see your post on LinkedIn because it’s exactly the type of job I’m looking for: an opportunity to bring my experience with video production and enthusiasm for storytelling to an organization that sets the standard for high-quality management content.

In addition to five years of experience in broadcast journalism, research, and video production, I would bring an organized and systems-level perspective to this role. I view video production as a puzzle, and like to think about which parts need to come together in order to make a great final product. My approach is to have in-depth conversations with my team members, and the various stakeholders, before each project. This helps me nail down the logistics — from location to talent.

From there, the fun begins: fleshing out the concept and identifying what visuals will best represent it. Ideation and storyboarding are essential in this step. I know I’m not right all the time, so I enjoy working with a diverse team that can bring in new perspectives, brainstorm, and pitch ideas that will make the final product stronger. Whenever possible, I also try to seek out other sources for inspiration, like magazines, which allow me to observe different ways of expression and storytelling. This approach has served me well. It’s what has allowed me to enter the film industry and grow as a creator.

On my website, you can see examples of how I use the above process to create fun, engaging content.

Given this experience and my enthusiasm for the work you do, I believe I’d make a great addition to your team. I recently had a chance to try out your Patient Zero product at my current organization. The simulation is both challenging and engaging. I was impressed by your ability to apply  different storytelling methods to an online training course (which, let’s admit, can often be a little dry). Your work exemplifies exactly what I believe: There’s an opportunity to tell a compelling story in everything — all you have to do is deliver it right.

I’d love to come in and speak with you more about what I’d be able to offer in this role. Harvard Business Publishing is my top choice and I believe I’d make valuable contributions to your team.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

3 tips for including internship experience in a cover letter.

How to stand out from the crowd as a new grad with internship experience

If you are a fresh graduate looking for a new job, a cover letter can help paint a helpful context of who you are and why you would be an excellent fit for the company. For seasoned professionals with considerable career milestones, resumes are often adequate to show their skillsets and how they would perform at a new job. Indicators like the type of company, pace of promotion, and scope of responsibilities paint a picture for the hiring managers of how they can expect the candidate to perform even before the interviews.

The good news for new graduates is that they are on an even playing field as they embark on a new career path with their peers. The downside is the need for additional information for the candidate to stand out from the crowd. Internship experience can be an advantage if leveraged and narrated correctly. When a company hires a new graduate, it knows the lack of experience and proof points to consider in the candidate. They are therefore looking for genuine interest, willingness to learn, and potential in new grads. If you have internship experience, including them in your cover letter is an excellent opportunity to feature these qualities. Here are a few tips on how to do this best.

Showcase Your Decision-making Process

One risk of hiring new graduates is that they may quit quickly if they find that the industry or the job function is not what they expected. If you have interned at a similar company, you can explain how that experience solidified your interest in the field and helped you narrow down the jobs you are genuinely interested in. By discussing your decision-making process and how the internship provided real-life perspective, you can demonstrate that you are a knowledgeable decision-maker rather than someone who is simply influenced by outside perspectives.

On the other hand, if you interned in an entirely different industry and position, you can use this experience to demonstrate that you discovered what you truly want to pursue. Highlight the positive lessons learned during the internship and avoid speaking negatively about past opportunities. The crucial point is to showcase what you gained from the experience and how it has strengthened your interest in the current company and role.

Be Truthful About The Scope Of Your Experience

Internship experiences can vary widely depending on the company, from simply shadowing an employee to conducting in-depth analysis or participating in structured rotational programs. However, it's important to note that internships typically don't involve holding leadership positions or having significant decision-making authority. It's essential to be honest about your role and responsibilities during an internship, as exaggerating or misrepresenting your experience will likely be noticed by hiring managers.

In addition, you should not disclose any confidential information about the company at any time. Keep your account of the experience brief and truthful.

Highlight Relevant Skillsets And Potential

If your previous internship provided you with the skills described in the job requirements for the position you are applying for, be sure to emphasize this and explain how you used those skills, as well as your eagerness to further develop them. For example, if you gained experience in analyzing complex datasets during your internship, highlight how you enhanced the company's training through your independent learning efforts, express your enthusiasm for the skill, and illustrate how it contributed to the team's goals to demonstrate your understanding of the practical application of your work. This can show your potential for growth, desire to learn, and proactive orientation towards your job, attributes all hiring managers seek.

When hiring recent graduates, hiring managers are aware that the candidates do not have extensive pre-existing skill sets or decision-making experience. They are hired with the expectation to learn quickly, contribute enough to offset the onboarding and training efforts, and hopefully grow within the company. Including an internship experience in your cover letter can help alleviate any concerns the hiring manager may have about your genuine interest in the company and role, and your desire to learn. It also provides a context for the kind of employee you will be, in ways a resume cannot for new grads.

Interior Designer Cover Letter Samples & Examples That Worked in 2024

Unleashing your creativity on an interior designer cover letter can be as fascinating as designing a space. But it's not all about colors and textures — it's about crafting a story that connects and resonates.

So, strap yourself in, move away those scatter cushions, and let's dive into the fine art of building a cover letter that's both noteworthy and visually compelling. Remember, it's about making an 'entrance,' pun absolutely intended. 

Read on to discover our insider tips and explore illustrative examples of how to:

• Format your interior designer cover letter properly
• Create an effective header
• Write a captivating headline for your cover letter
• Tailor the greeting in your interior designer cover letter
• Build an engaging introduction for your cover letter
• Highlight your design skills and achievements effectively
• Draft a persuasive conclusion to your cover letter
• Avoid common pitfalls in your interior designer cover letter
• Understand the average salary and job outlook for interior designer roles
• Uncover valuable resources for interior designers in today's job market

1. How to properly format your interior designer cover letter

Just like arranging elements in a room, formatting your cover letter requires intent and attention to detail. A well-structured cover letter ensures a smooth flow from beginning to end.

• Keep it concise: Aim for a single page. This isn't War and Peace; it's your career summary and an opportunity to showcase your ability to articulate succinctly.
• Clear structure: Like a well-designed room, your cover letter should have distinguishable sections. Include a captivating introduction, a powerful main body that includes your skills and achievements, and an intriguing conclusion.
• Use a professional font: Just as you wouldn't use Comic Sans in a design proposal, the same applies to your cover letter. Stick with easy-to-read fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri.
• Margins and spacing: Keep your margins around 1" and ensure there's sufficient white space. Avoid cramming text and make sure your paragraphs are neatly separated for easy reading.
• Bullet points: They're not just great for lists. Use bullet points or numbered lists to break down your skills or achievements. It adds visual interest and aids readability.
• Align text to the left: A simple yet effective trick. It aids readability and ensures consistency throughout the document.
• Bold headers: Make sure each section has clear headers. It's the equivalent of the 'You are here' marker on a map — it shows your reader where they are in your career story.
• Consistent style: If you choose to bold your job titles, do it throughout the letter. Likewise, with the date and company names. Inconsistencies in your formatting can be as jarring as mismatched furniture in a room. 
• File format: If you're sending your cover letter digitally, a PDF is your best bet. It retains your carefully planned formatting across all devices, like a perfect floorplan.
• Include relevant design elements: As an interior designer, you're in a unique position to include tasteful design elements in your cover letter. Not only does this display your skills in a practical way, it can also make your cover letter stand out from the sea of plain text documents.

Intentional, thoughtful formatting shows recruiters that you’re neat and thorough — essential traits for an aspiring interior designer. If in doubt, remember: your cover letter is a reflection of your professional self, so make it count.

Create your cover letter fast with artificial intelligence.

2. how to write an effective interior designer cover letter header.

The header of your cover letter serves as a professional nod in the form of your necessary contact details. Think of it as your business card, tidily placed at the top of your letter, catching the recruiter's eye . 

An appropriately crafted header should include:

• Your address
• Your contact number
• Your email address
• Your LinkedIn profile or an online portfolio
• The recipient’s name
• The recipient’s title
• Company name
• Company address

Here's an example of what not to do:

Weak cover letter header example

James Nightingale 123 Fake St [email protected] 1st April 2021

Why is it weak? In this example, James has not included his phone number (which limits the contact options for the recruiter) potentially causing unnecessary delays. The lack of LinkedIn or portfolio links denies the hiring manager a chance to learn more about his professional persona. What’s more, the header doesn't contain any information about the recipient. This impersonal touch can hint at a lack of effort or dedication to the specific role.

Now take a look at this revision:

Correct cover letter header example

James Designer 123 Fake Street, New York, NY 10003 (123) 456-7890 [email protected] LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jamesdesigner 1st April 2021

To: Ms. Patricia Hire Director of Design Design Innovations Co. 345 Real Road, New York, NY 10004 

Why does it work? This example features complete contact details including a LinkedIn profile for a comprehensive professional snapshot. The addition of the recipient's information personalizes the cover letter, showing that it's not a mass-produced document but has been crafted for a specific role and person.

By showing attention to detail and professional courtesy in your header, you set the tone for your entire cover letter. Trust us, the difference between a detailed header and a skimped one is like a room with proper lighting versus one lost in shadow. Let your credentials shine bright!

3. How to craft a compelling cover letter headline

Your interior designer cover letter's headline is your moment to shine. It, essentially, is a one-liner that sums up your professional experience and skills , aiming to pique the interest of the recruiter . The more compelling it is, the better your chances of making them want to read further.

Here’s an example of a not-so-great headline

Cover Letter for Interior Design Position

Why does it fall short? While it's true this headline indicates the purpose of your letter, it's as appealing as a room with no windows — bland and offering nothing unique.

Now, let's look at a more persuasive headline:

Strong cover letter headline example

Award-Winning Interior Designer with 5+ years in Crafting Sustainable & User-Focused Commercial Environments

Why does it work? Not only does this headline highlight your specialization, but it also brings to the forefront your experience and recognition. It offers the recruiter a much sharper, more concrete idea of who you are as a professional.

Crafting a compelling headline for your interior designer cover letter isn’t just about stating your job title. It's about creating a captivating snapshot of your specialization and career focus. It's your chance to paint a vibrant picture of your capabilities right at the onset of your cover letter.

4. How to tailor the greeting on your interior designer cover letter

Having a solid opening act plays a vital role in pumping up the audience for what's to come. In your cover letter, this opening act is your greeting. And a personalized one breathes life into your cover letter, just like a perfectly chosen centerpiece does in a living room.

Digging out the hiring manager's name is an effort worth making. It demonstrates your sincere interest and effort in applying for the job . So, where to find the name? 

You can start by looking at the job posting , the company’s website , LinkedIn , or even make a quick call to the company. 

Now, let's talk about crafting that perfect, personalized greeting. 

Strong personalized greeting examples

Dear Ms. Jamison, Dear Ms. Hannah Jamison, Dear Hiring Manager Hannah Jamison,

Why do these options work? These greetings are formal and respectful. They show you've performed your homework and are addressing someone specific in the company.

But what if you can't find the hiring manager’s name despite your best detective work? No worries. The general rule is to keep your greeting professional and neutral.

Acceptable generic greeting examples

Dear Hiring Manager, To the Interior Design Team,

Why are these okay? They may not be personalized, but they’re still professional and respectful. These should be your fallback options, used only when the hiring manager's name isn't available.

Dressing up your cover letter with a suitable greeting is crucial. It starts the conversation and emphasizes your effort to connect on a personal level. And as every designer knows, it's all about the details.

5. How to write a compelling opening to your cover letter

A powerful cover letter opening should give a brief overview of your professional and academic journey, articulate why you're applying for the specific position, and mention any mutual connections, if any.

Let's take a look at some examples:

Weak cover letter opening example

I'm applying for the job I saw on your website.

Why is it uninspiring? This opening is both ambiguous and lifeless. It fails to showcase anything meaningful about the candidate or show genuine interest in the role — akin to a bland, monochrome room.

Now, let's move onto better examples:

Strong opening for an experienced interior designer

With over 10 years of experience in creating functional, aesthetic spaces for both residential and commercial clients, I am thrilled to apply for the Senior Interior Designer role at XYZ Designs. I've long admired XYZ's commitment to sustainability and innovative design, values I've championed throughout my career. 

Why does it shine? This introduction conveys the applicant's experience and aligns their professional values with those of the potential employer. It's like a well-placed piece of art that complements the overall room design.

But what if you're fresh out of design school , with your newly printed degree still warm? Don't worry, you can still knock it out of the park. Let's look at an example:

Strong opening for a fresh graduate

As a recent graduate of ABC Design Institute's acclaimed Interior Design program, I'm excited about the Junior Designer position at XYZ Designs. Your firm's cutting-edge work has been a huge inspiration in my studies and designs, and I believe this role presents the perfect opportunity to bring my academic strengths to the professional world. 

Why does it stand out? Despite the lack of professional experience, this candidate shows their passion, highlights their relevant education, and directly relates their aspirations to the company's profile.

Remember, the first few lines set the tone. Make it a conversation starter, a mood setter, and most importantly, make it uniquely yours. It’s your story, so ensure you tell it in the most captivating way.

6. How to highlight your top skills and accomplishments

The core part of your cover letter — the body — is where you show off your top skills and notable achievements . It’s vital here to stay clear , pointed , and relevant with the job offer in front of you.

In the body, use short paragraphs or bullet points for readability and ease of understanding. Begin by spotlighting your most substantial achievements and skills, and then dive into how these align with the job requirements.

Here are some skills to mention in your interior designer cover letter

• Space planning and layout
• Knowledge of color theory
• Ability to work within budget
• Proficient with design software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, etc.)
• Project management
• Client relations
• Proficiency in sustainable design
• Knowledge of safety codes and regulations

Each skill you mention should be accompanied by evidence or scenarios where you've applied these capabilities successfully. 

For experienced interior designers, showcasing your skills is straightforward:

Cover letter body paragraph example for experienced candidates

In my recent role as a Lead Designer with XYZ Interiors, I successfully managed a major design project for a 60-story commercial building, considered one of the largest in the city. Coordinating with a team of ten, I implemented an innovative space optimization strategy which increased usable space by 15%. The client's praise for my astute project management led to a commendation from the senior leadership and extended partnership for future projects.

Here, the candidate provides specific details about their past responsibility, their achievement (increased usable space), and the positive outcome (praise from the client and extended partnership). This solid example showcases their skills and experience in a concrete way.

However, if you're recent out of school with no professional experience, focus on relevant coursework , internships , or extracurricular activities :

Cover letter body paragraph example for fresh graduates

In my final year at ABC Design Institute, I worked closely with a team on space planning and layout for our year-end project. Our design won 'Best Use of Small Space' at the institute's annual showcase. I also interned with a local design firm, where I learned how to select the right materials while staying within budget.

Remember, the body of your cover letter is about showcasing how your unique blend of skills and experiences make you the best fit for the job. It's about making the recruiter believe that you're the missing piece in their company's jigsaw.

7. How to persuasively conclude your interior designer cover letter

If the introduction of your cover letter is the handshake, the conclusion is your lasting impression. Ending your letter allows you one last chance to highlight your interest in the role , your eagerness to contribute to the company, and integrate your professional narrative.

A persuasive conclusion should:

• Reiterate your keen interest in the position
• Outline your availability for further discussions
• Indicate how and when you can be best reached
• Denote your plan for follow-up
• End with a polite, professional sign-off

Let's examine some examples:

Weak cover letter conclusion example

Thanks for considering me. I look forward to the opportunity to speak.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Why is it weak? This conclusion is simply vague, impersonal, and passive. There's no distinct call to action, and it doesn’t truly insist on the next step.

Strong cover letter conclusion example

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique blend of over ten years of interior design experience, creativity, and track record of achieving client satisfaction to your dynamic team. I am available for a discussion at your earliest convenience and can be reached at (123) 456-7890 or via email at [email protected]. I will also follow up next week to discuss potential next steps. 

Thank you for considering my application. 

Why does it succeed? This conclusion actively reaffirms interest in the position, provides clear contact information, outlines next steps, and ends with a professional sign-off, implying courtesy.

Remember, crafting a strong, compelling conclusion is your final opportunity to cement in the recruiter's mind why you'd be a great fit for the role. It’s that aftertaste that should linger, making them eager to learn more about you.

8. How to avoid common mistakes on your interior designer cover letter

Drafting a stellar cover letter is a meticulous task. The risk of small details slipping through is very much real. However, by being aware of some common mistakes , you can drastically reduce the chance of a hiring manager tossing your application aside.

• Typos and grammatical errors: This one is as basic as it gets. A single type can overshadow your entire application. Rely on spell-check tools but don't stop there. Carefully proofread your letter or have another person review it.
• Lack of specificity: Your cover letter should show why you're a great fit for the job in question. A vague, generic letter will fail to stand out and impress the hiring manager. Always tailor your cover letter for each application, speaking directly to the job's needs.
• Excessive length: While it's key to provide a comprehensive picture of your skills and experience, a cover letter isn't the place for your entire life story. Keep it focused, relevant, and under a page.
• Rehashing your resume: Your cover letter isn't just a repeat of your resume in paragraph form. It's a chance to provide a more detailed context for your achievements, where appropriate, and to convey your passion for the job.
• Unexpected tone: While it's great to let your personality shine through, remember that this is a professional document. Your tone should be respectful and enthusiastic without drifting into informality or slang.

Spotting the traps and avoiding these common mistakes will ensure your cover letter presents you in the best possible light. 

And after all, even the most beautifully designed room can be ruined by a single misplaced element. In your cover letter, every detail matters.

Cover Letter for an Interior Designer

By Andrew Harrison

Crafting a cover letter for an interior designer position is akin to designing a room; it’s all about creating the right impression with a blend of creativity, professionalism, and a personal touch. In this article, we’ll explore how to compose a compelling cover letter that showcases your design philosophy, experience, and passion for the craft. Remember, in the competitive world of interior design, your cover letter is your initial sketch; make it count.

Introduction: Setting the Scene

First impressions in interior design, as in cover letters, are paramount. From my perspective, your opening should be as inviting as a beautifully designed entryway. Begin with a personal connection to the field or a brief anecdote that illuminates your passion for interior design. For instance, you might say, “Ever since I rearranged my bedroom as a child, I’ve been in love with transforming spaces. To me, interior design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating environments that reflect and enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.”

Highlighting Your Design Philosophy

Interior design is as much about storytelling as it is about space planning and color schemes. In my opinion, sharing your design philosophy in your cover letter gives potential employers insight into your creative process. Whether you believe in the power of minimalism or the warmth of eclectic spaces, let your unique viewpoint shine through. You could express, “I hold the view that every space has its own story waiting to be told, and as an interior designer, it’s my privilege to bring that narrative to life.”

Showcasing Your Experience and Skills

Experience and skills are the foundation of any successful interior design career. In this section, don’t just list your previous projects; paint a picture of your achievements. Use idioms and opinion phrases to add color and depth to your experiences. For example, “In my last role, I didn’t just choose colors and fabrics; I wove together textures and hues to create a tapestry of comfort and style. My designs don’t just speak to the eyes but also to the heart, turning houses into homes.”

Detailing Specific Projects

Dive into a few specific projects to highlight your versatility and problem-solving skills. You might say, “Faced with a tight budget and tighter spaces, I didn’t see limitations; I saw a challenge. By thinking outside the box, I transformed a cramped apartment into a cozy haven, proving that great design doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.”

Understanding the Company’s Aesthetic

Researching and understanding the firm’s portfolio and design aesthetic can help you tailor your cover letter. In my estimation, aligning your design philosophy with the company’s style can significantly increase your chances of catching the hiring manager’s eye. Mention, “I’ve long admired [Company Name]’s innovative approach to sustainable design, and I’m eager to bring my expertise in eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient spaces to your team.”

Closing with a Call to Action

End your cover letter on a high note, with a clear call to action that reflects your enthusiasm for the position. Express your eagerness to discuss how your vision aligns with the company’s goals, saying something like, “I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to [Company Name]’s legacy of design excellence and would welcome the chance to discuss how my skills and insights could benefit your team.”

Your cover letter is the first step in the design process of your career. Make it as compelling, innovative, and thoughtful as the spaces you aspire to create. Remember, in the world of interior design, your ability to present yourself on paper is as crucial as your talent for transforming spaces.

Example Cover Letter for an Interior Designer Position

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am reaching out to express my enthusiastic interest in the Interior Designer position at [Company Name], as advertised. With a blend of creative flair and practical experience, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team’s success by creating innovative and functional designs that resonate with clients and enhance their spaces.

From a young age, I was captivated by the transformative power of design. To me, interior design is more than selecting fabrics and furnishings—it’s about crafting environments that reflect the personalities and lifestyles of their inhabitants. I believe that every project is a new canvas, and it’s my conviction that with a thoughtful approach, even the most challenging spaces can be turned into places of beauty and comfort.

In my previous role at [Previous Company], I had the privilege of leading a variety of residential and commercial projects from concept through completion.

• Demonstration of relevant experience with specific examples, like the successful management of a project involving 30 suppliers and the launch of 12 greenfield implantations, showcases the candidate's ability to handle complex and large-scale projects in an urban garden design capacity.
• Alignment of personal values with the company's mission, emphasizing the candidate's passion for environmental stewardship and sustainable design, which reinforces their suitability for a role in a company focusing on eco-conscious development.
• Offer of further discussion on skill sets and certifications during an interview, indicating the candidate's preparedness to elaborate on how their qualifications specifically align with the job requirements and company goals.

What should your interior designer cover letter look like - formatting and organizing your information

Have you ever wondered what are the must-have sections you need to include in your interior designer cover letter? Our builder sets those up for you with:

• Header - dedicated to your contact information, the role you're applying for, and the date (don't forget to include your name);
• Greeting and opening paragraph - to create a personalized and memorable experience for recruiters;
• Body paragraph - emphasizing your skill set and knowledge that aligns with the role and helps you to stand out;
• Closing paragraph - leaving a great impression and ending with an optional signature.

Use a cover letter template to discover the best formatting for your interior designer cover letter: that is single-spaced paragraphs and wrapping your content in a one-inch margin.

Ensure that both your resume and interior designer cover letter are in the same font . Stand apart from the crowd by using modern, yet simple fonts, like Chivo and Rubik, instead of the overused Arial and Times New Roman.

Did you know that the Applicant Tracker System (or ATS) won't be assessing your interior designer cover letter? Instead, submit your profile in PDF to recruiters to keep the same formatting and the design intact.

The top sections on a interior designer cover letter

• Header: Include your name, contact information, and date, which is crucial for the hiring manager to know who you are and how to reach you for an interview.
• Greeting: Address the hiring manager or the head of the interior design department directly if possible to create a personal touch and demonstrate your attention to detail.
• Introduction: Briefly express your enthusiasm for interior design and mention any specific project or style that aligns with the hiring company’s portfolio, indicating your familiarity with their work.
• Body: Highlight your most significant design projects, the range of your design skills, understanding of materials and trends, as well as client satisfaction rates to showcase your hands-on experience and successful track record.
• Closing: Reiterate your passion for interior design, your fit for the company's aesthetic and culture, and a call to action, such as looking forward to discussing how you can contribute to their team's success.

Key qualities recruiters search for in a candidate’s cover letter

• Proficiency with design software (e.g., AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, Adobe Creative Suite): Important for creating accurate and detailed design plans and visualizations.
• Strong portfolio showcasing a variety of design styles: Demonstrates versatility, creativity, and a track record of meeting clients’ aesthetic and functional needs.
• Knowledge of building codes and regulations: Critical for ensuring that designs comply with all safety and legal standards.
• Exceptional spatial awareness and attention to detail: Enables the creation of functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces that maximize utility while maintaining design integrity.
• Excellent communication and client relationship skills: Essential for understanding client visions, presenting design concepts, and ensuring client satisfaction throughout the design process.
• Project management experience: Shows the ability to coordinate with contractors, manage timelines, and stay within budget, leading to successful project completion.

How to greet recruiters in your interior designer cover letter salutation

As the saying goes, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Write your interior designer cover letter salutation to be more personalized to the actual hiring manager, who is set to assess your profile by:

• greeting them on a first-name basis, if you have previously communicated with them (e.g. "Dear Sam,");
• using their last name, if you have more formal communication or haven't spoken to them (e.g. "Dear Mr. Harrows" or "Dear Ms. Marshall");
• writing "Dear HR Team" or "Dear Hiring Manager", if you have no clue about who's recruiting for the role.

Search on LinkedIn, Google, or the company website to find information as to the recruiter's name.

In any case, avoid the impersonal "Dear Sir or Madam".

List of salutations you can use

• Dear Hiring Manager,
• Dear [Name of the Design Firm] Team,
• Dear [Specific Name of the Hiring Manager],
• Dear [Name of the Department] Hiring Committee,
• Dear [Mr./Ms./Dr.] [Last Name],
• Dear Selection Committee,

Introducing your profile to catch recruiters' attention in no more than two sentences

The introduction of your interior designer cover letter is a whole Catch 22 .

You have an allocated space of no more than just a paragraph (of up to two sentences). With your introduction, you have to stand out and show why you're the best candidate out there.

Set out on a journey with your interior designer cover letter by focusing on why you're passionate about the job. Match your personal skills and interests to the role.

Another option for your interior designer cover letter introduction is to show you're the ideal candidate. Write about how your achievements and skills are precisely what the company is looking for.

However you decide to start your interior designer cover letter, always remember to write about the value you'd bring about. Making it both tangible (with your metrics of success) and highly sought out.

What to write in the body of your interior designer cover letter

Now that you've got your intro covered, here comes the heart and soul of your interior designer cover letter.

It's time to write the middle or body paragraphs . This is the space where you talk about your relevant talent in terms of hard skills (or technologies) and soft (or people and communication) skills.

Keep in mind that the cover letter has a different purpose from your interior designer resume.

Yes, you still have to be able to show recruiters what makes your experience unique (and applicable) to the role.

But, instead of just listing skills, aim to tell a story of your one, greatest accomplishment.

Select your achievement that:

• covers job-crucial skills;
• can be measured with tangible metrics;
• shows you in the best light.

Use the next three to six paragraphs to detail what this success has taught you, and also to sell your profile.

A sincere and original way to end your interior designer cover letter

When writing their interior designer cover letter, candidates tend to use one of these phrases, "Sincerely yours" or "I look forward to hearing from you".

Both statements show good manners, but your cover letter should end in a more actionable manner .

Write about:

• how you see yourself growing in the role/organization;
• the benefits you would bring about (you'd impress even more with tangible metrics);
• the next steps in the process (provide your availability for interviews).

Is it beneficial to mention that you have no experience in your interior designer cover letter?

Lacking professional experience isn't the end of the world for your interior designer cover letter .

Just be honest that you may not have had roles in the industry, but bring about so much more.

Like, your transferable skills, attained thanks to your whole work and life experience (e.g. the skills your summer spent working abroad taught you).

Or, focus on what makes you, you, and that one past success that can help you stand out and impress recruiters (think of awards you've attained and how they've helped you become a better professional).

Alternatively, write about your passion and drive to land the job and the unique skill set you would bring to enhance the workplace culture.

Key takeaways

Winning at your job application game starts with a clear and concise interior designer cover letter that:

• Has single-spaced paragraphs, is wrapped in a one-inch margin, and uses the same font as the interior designer resume;
• Is personalized to the recruiter (using their name in the greeting) and the role (focusing on your one key achievement that answers job requirements);
• Includes an introduction that helps you stand out and show what value you'd bring to the company;
• Substitutes your lack of experience with an outside-of-work success, that has taught you valuable skills;
• Ends with a call for follow-up or hints at how you'd improve the organization, team, or role.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in a Interior Design Consultant Cover Letter

When applying for a position as an Interior Design Consultant, your cover letter serves as a crucial first impression that can set you apart from other candidates. It’s essential to present yourself professionally while showcasing your design expertise and passion. However, many applicants make common mistakes that can undermine their chances of landing an interview. To increase your chances of success, be mindful of the following pitfalls to avoid in your cover letter:

• Generic Greetings: Using "To Whom It May Concern" instead of addressing the hiring manager by name can make your application feel impersonal.
• Lack of Personalization: Failing to tailor your cover letter to the specific job or company can suggest a lack of genuine interest in the position.
• Overly Long Paragraphs: Writing dense blocks of text can be overwhelming; keep paragraphs concise for better readability.
• Neglecting Key Skills: Omitting relevant skills or experiences that align with the job description can result in a missed opportunity to demonstrate your qualifications.
• Using Jargon Excessively: While industry-specific terms can showcase your expertise, overusing jargon may alienate the reader.
• Ignoring Formatting: A cluttered or unprofessional layout can distract from your content; ensure your cover letter is well-structured and visually appealing.
• Being Too Formal or Informal: Striking the right tone is crucial; avoid being overly casual or excessively formal to maintain professionalism.
• Focusing on Responsibilities Instead of Achievements: Highlighting your accomplishments rather than just listing duties can better illustrate your impact and capabilities.
• Not Proofreading: Spelling and grammatical errors can undermine your professionalism; always proofread your cover letter before submission.
• Failure to Include a Call to Action: Ending your letter without expressing your desire for an interview can leave the reader uncertain about your enthusiasm.

To begin with, handwritten letters provide a unique personal touch that is unparalleled by technology. Each stroke of the pen represents the sender’s time, effort, and sincerity. This tangible effort is felt by the recipient, creating a heartfelt and meaningful experience unlike any other.

Moreover, handwritten letters evoke a sense of nostalgia and permanence. In an era where communication is mostly virtual and temporary, a handwritten letter serves as a lasting testament to a precious connection. Unlike electronic messages that can be easily deleted, a physical letter can be preserved and cherished, reminding both the sender and the recipient of the bond they share.

Furthermore, writing by hand encourages better self-reflection and expression. The act of writing engages the mind in a way that typing cannot replicate. It forces us to slow down, think deeply, and carefully choose our words. This reflective process aids in improving our communication skills, allowing us to express ourselves more effectively and meaningfully.

In conclusion, the significance of handwritten letters should never be underestimated. They exude a personal touch, foster lasting memories, and enhance our ability to express ourselves. So let us revive the lost art of letter-writing and relish in the beauty of handwritten correspondence.

2. Tailor your cover letter to the job description

The best way to make sure your cover letter is tailored for a specific job is by paying close attention to the details of the position. For example, if you see that an interior design internship opening requires knowledge of AutoCAD, then list any relevant experience you have using the software.

If there are any additional requirements or skills mentioned for that job, also list them on your application; this will help make it clear how you can meet their needs.

3. Use strong adjectives to describe your work

When describing your work, use strong adjectives that will catch the hiring manager’s attention. For example, words like “innovative,” “unique,” and “creative” will help show that you have the necessary skills and passion for the job.

4. Proofread your cover letter

Proofreading your cover letter is the first step to landing an interview for an interior design internship. As with any position, it’s important to spell-check and double-check that there are no errors in your resume or cover letter. Otherwise, you risk being disqualified before the employer even sees your qualifications.
