Dear Mr / Mrs / Miss / Ms Contact name,
This space is then used for the various paragraphs within the job application cover letter. As mentioned above there should be four or five paragraphs to cover the details required.
It should be remembered that the job application letter should be concise, and it should look and sound professional. In this way it will help the job application stand out from the others.
Further paragraphs ……
Yours sincerely,

This is a fairly standard letter layout. It can obviously be tailored to meet the individual situation, but generally this format is often used. There are a couple of points or protocol that are worth noting:
Although life is les formal these days, addressing the letter in the correct way shows a professional attitude, and someone who is more likely to be able to handle themselves properly if they need to represent the company on business.
Having a professional looking job application cover letter can greatly help in getting the accompanying CV or resume viewed by the right people. If the job application cover letter looks professional then those processing any job applications will be more likely to take it seriously. With many companies receiving literally thousands or applications, the overall package of information received by them has to look good and it must stand out from the others. Having a properly composed and set out accompanying letter is part of this.

I have experience in IT, interested in the Data Analysis field and would like to work with the IT team to obtain more work experience in my field.
I have experience on corporate affairs ,customer managementand online manager I would like to work at campus biz
how to answer the question why you
i have experience in admin but a hr. profession how do i align myself to fit in as an experienced admin during application?
I’m assuming you were an HR admin and if not, then just mentioning experience in admin is a bit vague, was it in Finance? Or any other department…? Thing about aligning your experience and qualifications is you need to have some clarity on what exactly you want in your next role, once you have that, then you can focus solely on roles that match your profile. Once you’re in such a position then it becomes easier to match a job description and requirements to your profile (education, experience, certification, etc…) when coming up with a cover letter.
Hopes this helps…
Very helpful.

After looking through job offer after neverending job offer, you’ve finally found your dream position.
They offer amazing compensation and benefits. You’ll be surrounded by great coworkers. Perhaps they even have free snacks and great coffee in the breakroom.
Before you can show them how well-suited you are at the interview, you need to write a cover letter that convinces them to give you a shot.
It’s not as hard as you think.
How to Write a Cover Letter:
After our guide on how to create a cover letter, there are plenty of cover letter tips and advice to make sure you beat out other candidates.
Then, we end the saga by giving you dozens of links to cover letter examples for specific professions. Use these if you want to go more in-depth on how to write a cover letter for a particular career path.
But first, here are…
Before we get to our guide on how to write a cover letter for a job, let’s get things started with three great sample cover letters.
One is for an experienced candidate, and another is for an entry-level applicant. The third one is a fill-in-the-blanks cover letter template for you to copy, paste, and use for yourself.
In this first cover letter sample, we have a seasoned professional applying for a job she’s got experience in.
Annabel is an office assistant in New Jersey. For the unfortunate reason that her last office was shut down, she’s applying for a similar position at a new company.
Let’s look at how Annabel wins the office manager’s heart over with this cover letter example:
Sample cover letter created with our builder: See more templates and create your cover letter now .
CREATE YOUR RESUME NOW
What’d you think?
In less than 300 words, Annabel has definitely created an attention-grabbing cover letter. She shows passion, plenty of experience, and accomplishments to all but secure her a desk and a filing cabinet.
In this next example, we’re now going to see how to write a cover letter for a job with no experience in that field.
Here we have Thomas.
Thomas just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. He has no professional working experience in IT, but he is positive he would be a great fit nonetheless.
Let’s watch how he pulls this off:
How about that?
Thomas has had real-world working experience in the past, but his time employed as a barista was to help him get through college. Though he learned some great skills as a barista, they don’t help him much in getting the job as a software engineer.
However, he makes up for his lack of paid IT experience by showing he has the skills, knowledge, and passion for software engineering.
Use this style also when thinking of how to write a cover letter for an internship.
Let’s continue—
Below is a sample cover letter template you can copy and paste and use for yourself. Simply replace the bold items in brackets with your information, and you’ll have a great, personalized cover letter written in under 15 minutes!
Here is our cover letter sample template:
[Your Full Name]
[Your Professional Title] (Optional)
[Your Address]
[Your Phone Number]
[Your Email Address]
[Your LinkedIn Profile URL]
[Date of Writing]
[Employer’s Full Name]
[Employer’s Professional Title]

Dear [Employer’s Name]:
I was thrilled to locate the [Job Title] at [New Company Name]. With my [## of Years] years working as a [Previous or Current Job Title], I’ve become quite experienced with [Give Example of Most Relevant Skills or Competencies]. I am sure that I possess the necessary skills, background, and experience to be a perfect candidate for this position.
In the employment ad’s job responsibilities section, it says you require a [Job Title] with expertise in [List Competencies You Have Which Are Mentioned in the Job Advertisement]. As a [Previous or Current Job Title] with [Previous or Current Company], I successfully managed [Give One or Two Responsibilities Relevant to the New Job Title]. On top of that, I had a few wins which I am quite proud of, including:
Working at [New Company Name] would be an amazing opportunity for me, but not solely because I fit the requirements. Your company also [Mention Something About the Company You Admire, e.g., Values, Projects, Contributions, Ethics, etc.]. Because of that, it would be an honor for me to work for [New Company Name] as the next [Job Title].
Do you have time for a brief chat in the next few days? I’d love to talk about how I can help [New Company Name] achieve its upcoming [Plans , Goals, KPIs, Targets, etc.].

P.S. [Add a Postscript, Optionally, to Remind Them of Your Value, Throw in One More Fact, or to Add a Creative Touch].
Not so bad, right?
This one follows our standard guidelines on what to include in a cover letter. To make sure you don’t neglect any important cover letter sections, see this article: What to Include in a Cover Letter (15+ Examples of What Goes Where)
Also, show your resume the same love and attention—it’s just as important if you want that interview. Read our guide here: How to Write a Resume for a Job
Otherwise, let’s continue—
Here is our step-by-step guide on….
1. format the cover letter before you begin writing.
Most employers prefer to read a resume if a cover letter comes attached.
And guess what?
Those same employers favor a cover letter which is arranged correctly.
Here’s how to format a cover letter effectively:
Never let your cover letter spill over onto a second page . One page is plenty. In general, the best cover letters are relevant, concise, and have a word count which doesn’t exceed 300 words.
A cover letter should be relatively simple: why you are interested in the position, why the company should be interested in you, and how you fit the job posting. A resume tells the reader where you’ve been while the cover letter tells them where you hope to go. Be authentic, keep that one thing in mind, and don’t overcomplicate it. Krystal Yates career transition mentor, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
Pro Tip: If you choose a creative cover letter template with your personal details enlarged and styled to the center or right, don’t worry. Just make sure it matches your resume, and left-align the remainder of your job application letter.
Want more ideas and tips for formatting a cover letter properly? Read our guide: Cover Letter Format: Templates, Ready-to-Use Layouts, & 20+ Samples
The header of a cover letter is quite simple—it’s basically like addressing a postcard. Just your deets, a date, and their info.
Here’s how to write an effective cover letter heading area:
This is what it looks like in practice:
[Your Job Title] (Optional)
[Hiring Manager’s Full Name]
[Hiring Manager’s Title]
Like I said, piece of cake, right?
Pro Tip: Don’t worry about adding other contact details of the hiring manager or company; their name and address will do.
Want to go into more detail on your cover letter heading? We’ve got a detailed writeup right this way: Cover Letter Heading: Templates, Rules, and 4+ Sample Headers
Dear Jennifer:
The cover letter salutation sounds even easier than the heading, doesn’t it?
Not so fast.
There are a lot of nuances to be considered here.
Who to address a cover letter to?
First name or last?
If applying to a more traditional role, such as at a law firm or at a university, go with their title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Mrs., Dr.) and their last name to be on the safe side. Otherwise, using their first name is a great way to grab the reader’s attention.
How to address a cover letter with no name?
If you tried everything and can’t find the hiring manager’s name, go with “Dear hiring manager.” Replace “hiring manager” with a job title (e.g., “IT director,” “HR manager”) if you at least have that information.
If you aren’t happy with these options, go ahead and skip the salutation, jumping straight to the first paragraph. That’s much better than the universally despised “Dear sir or madam.”
Comma, semicolon, or colon?
Finally, use a colon (:) rather than a comma after your cover letter greeting. Save the commas for less-formal letters to your grandparents.
Pro Tip: How to address a cover letter to two or more people? Separate each name as you would any comma-separated list (e.g., “Dear Jessica, John, and Jill:”). However, go in descending order by job title, listing the person who is highest in company rank first.

The opening of a cover letter sets the tone for what follows.
Bore them at your own peril.
Intrigue them, and they’ll be dying to read more.
How to write a cover letter opening paragraph that’ll keep you in the running?
Here’s how to make a cover letter intro:
Let’s look at a sample customer service representative cover letter introduction:
I just happened across the opening for the customer service representative position at Swerve Media Group, and I’m excited at the chance to apply for the position. As a CSR for The Bright Agency for over two years, I’ve become well-versed in resolving conflict, assisting clients, and promoting upsells. I’m certain I have the patience, attentiveness, and personable nature needed to be a stellar customer service rep at Swerve.
As you can see, writing a cover letter is not rocket science.
This cover letter beginning is basic but it will deliver—it ticks all the boxes I mentioned above.
Pro Tip: Cut any unnecessary or irrelevant sentences from your cover letter, whether it’s in your intro or later on. A cover letter should be brief and to the point. Save the hiring manager time while saving yourself time, and save some space while you’re at it.
Need more ideas for how to write a good cover letter introduction paragraph? There are a few effective hacks and strategies. You can get a bit creative, use enthusiasm, or name drop someone who referred you to this job. Check out our complete “beginners” tutorial here: How to Start a Cover Letter: 25+ Introduction Examples & Ways to Open
You’re applying for a job, and the hiring manager’s job is to assess how well you’d fit.
In the second paragraph, it’s time to show them you’re the best candidate they could possibly consider.
Refer to the job description.
The employment offer’s job requirements section tells you exactly the applicant they’re looking for.
Let them know their search is over.
Here’s a sample cover letter second paragraph continuing with our CSR job:
According to the job description I found on Indeed, you’re searching for a customer service representative with knowledge of the Salesforce customer relationship management software and who is able to resolve disputes and inquiries professionally. As a customer service representative at The Bright Agency, I used Salesforce on a daily basis, going even further to help train new colleagues on the CRM software. Furthermore, I had the highest client satisfaction rating (97.9%) based on closed cases. I am confident I could bring the same level of attentiveness and initiative to Swerve Media Group as the new CSR.
See how effective that is?
In this middle paragraph, we reiterate a few of the key qualifications they’re looking for according to the job ad. Then, we show them how we meet and exceed their expectations.
Let’s check out one more, this time using a slightly different format:
According to the job ad for the marketing position from LinkedIn, you’re searching for a digital marketer with a wide breadth of expertise in managing campaigns, social media marketing, content strategy, and SEO. At my last position at Smart Marketing Ventures, I had quite a few wins I’m proud of, including:
As you can see, I take my work seriously and care completely about the results I deliver on behalf of my company. Were you to hire me at The Jonas Agency, I would bring that same drive and commitment with me each and every day.
That one’s a bit longer, but it’s super impressive.
Use this bullet point style when you have multiple achievements with numbers to allow them to stand out and be readily seen. Great for jobs like sales, IT, or teaching, for example.
Write a cover letter like you would a marketing email. So instead of starting with, ‘I’m writing this letter to show my interest for the marketing job you have advertised,’ start it with something like this – ‘Looking for more leads? In my role at Google, I helped generate over 327 leads this year with an ROI of 217%.’ By giving a benefit of having you in the company with a concrete example of your success, you’ll captivate the reader and increase your likelihood of a response. Matt Dodgson Founder of Market Recruitment
Pro Tip: Don’t echo your resume. A great cover letter should complement your resume rather than repeat its contents. A great use of a cover letter is also to explain any employment gaps which may be blatantly obvious on your resume.
Are you writing a cover letter in an email? Slightly different rules apply. Make sure you play by these: Email Cover Letter: Sample, Proper Email Format, 20+ Tips
Don’t simply tell them how you’ll make their lives better.
Explain to them that they’re perfect for you , as well.
Of course the company needs to know that you have the job skills, work experience, and professional background they’re seeking. However, they also want to hire someone who’ll enjoy coming to work for them and who’ll be a great fit on the team.
There are several ways to go about this:
Show love for the company, its products, or its history:
I’ve been a fan of Samsung products from my very first flip phone back when I was a teenager. Admittedly, part of that fond hindsight may be due to the fact that it helped me contact my high school crush on the weekends. However, I have been a Samsung devotee ever since, and I’m currently married to the Note 10 and engaged to that same high school crush (so thanks, Samsung!). I would be incredibly fortunate to be considered for the position at a company I’ve admired for more than a decade.
Display enthusiasm for the work you’ll be involved in:
My grandmother immigrated to New York from Bologna almost 50 years ago, and I used to enjoy helping her prepare dishes from her native Emilia-Romagna region when I was a little boy. The love of Italian food, particularly the flavors of this area, hasn’t left me. I’d be thrilled to be considered for the chef position at such a fabulous restaurant, especially one that keeps the tastes and smells of my grandmother’s kitchen alive as authentically as you do.
Demonstrate your willingness and readiness to take on their challenges:
Given the recent investment into your company by Angel Partners—congratulations, by the way!—your company has now allocated a large portion of it to your content marketing efforts. I happen to thrive under pressure and with tight deadlines, and I always make sure the quality of my work is never sacrificed for quantity. If you consider me for the copywriting position, I’m certain I would bring the same balance of high-quality writing and quick turnaround time you’re looking for.
What did you think of these three cover letter examples?
As you can see, there’s no one right way to go about it. Use creativity, bits of humor, even exclamation marks to believably highlight your enthusiasm.
The key thing here is to show them you’re interested in more than the money they’re offering, and you’ll be fine.
You’re almost there—
Time to wrap it up with a powerful and compelling cover letter closing paragraph.
How to end a cover letter effectively?
In the last paragraph of a cover letter, invite them to discuss further, request a meeting, and promise them all this greatness you’ve exemplified is just the tip of the iceberg.
Here is a simple cover letter closing example:
Would you have time for a quick phone call or meeting? I’d love to demonstrate how I could bring similar results (the 35% decrease in overhead) to your company.
That’s what you call “ending on a high note!”
Pro Tip: There are two important things to keep in mind when ending a cover letter. Don’t come off needy (no begging!), and skip that tired phrase “thanks for your time and consideration” or any variation like it.
The cover letter ending paragraph is just a sentence or two, but it can make or break your job application. Don’t let that happen: How to End a Cover Letter [20+ Examples of Great Closing Paragraphs]
Signing off on a cover letter is super straightforward and simple.
Here’s what it looks like:
Jessica Paris
Easy peasy.
“Sincerely” is the most standard complimentary close (also known as a valediction ), but feel free to use other formal or semi-formal options, as well. “Regards,” “Yours Truly,” or “Thank You” work just fine, too.
Avoid anything too informal, such as “Peace,” “Cheers,” or “TTYL.” Just as you start a cover letter formally, end the cover letter formally, also.
Pro Tip: If you’re handing in a physical copy of your cover letter, leave a few extra spaces between the complimentary closing and your name. Then, add a handwritten signature between for a stylish and professional flourish. If you know how, you can also include your digital signature for some bonus points.
Thought you were done?
While you could end a cover letter here, there’s one nifty little trick that works wonders.
The postscript.
A postscript is meant to be used as a sort of written afterthought. However, you can use the P.S. statement on a cover letter to get one more word in edgewise.
You could use it to reiterate your value statement, like this:
P.S. I was instrumental in raising NPS scores by 30%, and I’d be happy to give you my plan for how I’d implement a similar overhaul at your company, as well.
Or, you could use it to show some early company spirit:
P.S. I know it’s early and I don’t want to be presumptuous. However, I found myself already trying on some black and gold outfits in anticipation!
Or, get them excited about meeting you:
P.S. By the way, I saw on the company’s about page that you enjoy pastries and good coffee. What would you think about meeting at Daily Provisions? They’ve got amazing donuts and the best espresso to wash it all down!
The sky’s the limit!
Here are cover letter tips and advice to smooth down the edges:
If there’s only one thing you’ll remember from this guide, it should be this—
Always tailor your cover letter to one specific company and one particular job position.
Hiring managers can tell immediately if you created one generic cover letter and sent it all over the tri-state area. They throw those out.
If you want to save time, consider making a “master” cover letter. Using this, you can just do a few minor modifications prior to sending each cover letter and resume out.
Saves time while still feeling targeted!
If you want to learn how to write an all-purpose cover letter and get a few more master cover letter examples, check out this guide: General Cover Letter that Isn’t Generic
When adding an email address, don’t use your old high school handle ( str8ballin69@… ). Use a respected email service such as Gmail, rather than one that makes you look ancient (sorry, AOL). Also, it’s disrespectful to use your current company’s email address as your contact email, so just don’t.
Finally, fix your LinkedIn URL . Many people keep the one that’s given to them, such as linkedin.com/in/john-smith-58914z7b . Take 30 seconds, go into your settings, and adjust the URL to just your name or something that represents you professionally.
The application letter is meant to inform them just how well you match the company’s needs.
However, don’t make it all “I’m looking for such-and-such” or “I have this skill and that ability.”
Rather, say those things while bringing each around to the company’s point of view. If you have communication skills, explain to them how your ability to communicate effectively would benefit them.
The resume you wrote probably included fragmented sentences and nothing but fact after monotonous fact.
Let loose a bit on your cover letter to exhibit your human side. Don’t be afraid to tell an (appropriate) joke or let your passion shine through.
The cover letter is where you have the opportunity to showcase your personality a bit. Take a look at the company’s webpage and social media and mimic their style and culture. Always be authentic and yourself, but if you feel that there is a synergy to your personality and the organization’s philosophy or ethos, then the cover letter is where you can begin to illustrate that! Roy Munk President, GHS Recruiting
Many organizations, particularly larger ones, use an ATS (applicant tracking system) to help them sort through and manage all the resumes and cover letters they get each day.
The ATS also has the added role of locating particular keywords and phrases the HR manager or recruiter searches for. The ATS then scores each resume and cover letter based on how well they match the job description.
If you’re a poor match, no interview.
So, look through the job description to identify the particular skills and experience they want. Work those keywords into your cover letter and resume for a job application sure to get a callback.
You might know what it means.
And your potential future supervisor may understand it.
However, industry buzzwords and jargon often get lost in translation somewhere in the middle. Hiring managers often know just the basics about your particular role, since they recruit for multiple positions. Specific lingo from your niche will confuse them or mean nothing, at the very least.
It sounds obvious, but this doesn’t stop a sizable portion of cover letters and resumes from having typos, dating errors, and other mistakes.
Use a spell checker and grammar checker such as Grammarly to be safe. Then, give it to a friend or family member for another once-over just in case.
It would be a shame to be super qualified but dismissed from the running for such a stupid oversight!
By now, you know how to write a cover letter for a job application sure to get a reply and an interview offer.

Thanks to the introduction of devolution, one will rarely miss a county job for different positions.
So how do you draft a sample cover letter for a county job? The following is a perfect example of a county job in communication.
Martha Nereah, P O box 4522-00100 Nairobi

A sample Cover Letter for anyone looking to work in a bank.
By Perminus Wainaina
Banks in Kenya are among top companies that hire fresh graduates and those with minimal experience. Bank jobs are popular with young Kenyans as the starting salary is reasonable, starting at an average of K’sh 40,000 compared to other industries that don’t pay as well. Common jobs available in banks are in customer service, cashier, operations, finance, and credit.
If you want to stand out as a fresh graduate looking for a job in a bank, you need to know what employers are looking for. Employers expect you to be a person of integrity, to have great customer service skills, and to demonstrate initiative. You also need to have good communication skills and be able to interact with customers from diverse backgrounds.
Below is a sample cover letter for a bank job when there’s no job advertised.
16/03/2016 P.O Box 115, Nairobi, Kenya.
Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: APPLICATION FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB AT YOUR BANK
I graduated last year with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing from the University of Nairobi where I attained a second class upper grade. I also possess a Diploma in Business Administration from Kenya Institute of Administration.
The reason I am writing is to kindly request you to consider me for an entry level opening in your customer service or marketing department. As you can see from my attached CV, I served as a business development intern at Wajube micro finance for a period of six months. During that period I was exposed to different financial products, and I learnt how to market the same to segmented customers. Part of my business development role was to offer customer service by answering queries and doing follow ups with interested customers.
The internship also helped me develop interpersonal skills and I was able to relate well, not only with my colleagues, but also with customers from different backgrounds. I am able to produce quality work within strict deadlines, and as I am a person of integrity, you can count on me to work with minimal supervision.
I’d be happy to discuss how I can contribute to the success of the bank and I’d be glad to have an interview with you. My salary expectations are flexible and dependent on your budget, as what I am keen on is gaining experience as I add value to the bank.
Thank you for taking time to read my application.
Regards, Signed Josephine Akoth Wambua

Whether you’re applying for a job , internship , scholarship, or volunteer position, a well-crafted application letter can help you stand out. It's your chance to introduce yourself and make a strong first impression that sets you apart from the competition.
But how do you write an application letter that’s effective? Below, we’ll explain when to use this method of introduction and give you practical tips on writing one that gets results. Plus, we've included a sample application letter and a template to help you create the perfect document for any opportunity.
Apply for the role of your dreams! One of these open jobs on The Muse could be the perfect fit »
An application letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. It's a crucial part of an application for work as it introduces you to potential employers and highlights your qualifications.
While some companies request it at the beginning of the application process, others might ask for it later, or not at all—but it's always a valuable addition.
Unlike a resume, which outlines your work history, a written application allows you to elaborate on your achievements and how they relate to the job you are applying for. It is a much more specific way to introduce yourself and explain why you would be a good fit for the job.
Some people use the terms “application letter” and “cover letter” interchangeably, but there are subtle differences between the two.
An application letter serves as your formal introduction to a potential employer. It highlights your interest in the role, your qualifications, and why you're a good fit for the position. It's a standalone document that provides a comprehensive overview of your skills and experiences.
On the other hand, a cover letter is usually more concise than an application letter and serves as a complementary document to your resume, providing additional context to your job application. It elaborates on specific points from your resume and explains how your background aligns with the job requirements.
Also, job application letters follow a more formal structure, often resembling a traditional business letter. They include your contact information, the date, and the employer’s contact information at the top. An application letter is usually addressed to a specific individual, such as the hiring manager or recruiter. While cover letters also have a professional tone, they can be less formal in structure.
Finally, the application letter is used primarily for job applications, internship applications, scholarship applications, and volunteer positions. In contrast, the cover letter is specifically used to accompany a resume during job applications.
Application letters are typically required when applying for jobs. However, there are other scenarios where you might need one:
Writing an effective application letter involves more than just summarizing your resume. Here are seven tips to write yours:
Before you start writing, research the company to understand its culture, values, and needs. Tailor your letter to align with the company’s mission and the job description. There is nothing better for an HR professional than feeling that you don’t just want any job; you want to work with them for specific reasons, such as X and Y.
“Address the letter to the hiring manager by name if possible,” says Mike Chappell, CEO of FormsPal , who has more than a decade of experience reviewing application letters. “This shows that you’ve done your research and are genuinely interested in the company.”
Your application letter should follow a formal letter of application format. Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial, and keep the font size between 10 and 12 points. Include your contact information, the date, and the employer’s contact information at the top of the letter.
There are many layouts online that you can use. Find one that represents your style and complements your resume.
Your opening paragraph should grab the reader’s attention. Mention the position you're applying for and where you found the job listing. If you were referred by someone, include their name. Briefly introduce yourself and explain why you’re interested in the role.
In the body of your applicant letter, highlight your relevant skills, experiences, and achievements. “Use specific examples to showcase your accomplishments and how they relate to the job you’re applying for,” Chappell says. “ Quantifiable results can make a strong impact.”
Avoid repeating information from your resume; instead, expand on your most relevant experiences.
Employers want to hire candidates who are enthusiastic about the role and the company. Show your excitement for the opportunity. Explain why you are specifically interested in this job and how it aligns with your career goals.
While it’s important to provide enough detail, your application letter should be concise. Aim for one page, with three to four paragraphs. Be clear and to the point, avoiding unnecessary fluff.
Typos and grammatical errors can leave a negative impression on employers. Carefully proofread your letter before sending it. Consider asking another person to review it as well.
Here's a super complete example of application letter to help you get started:
