COVER LETTERS
Always send a cover letter along with an
application or resume to an employer.
Its purpose is to introduce you and show
the prospective employer how your
background ? ts their particular job. Use
the cover letter to expand on points from
your resume that you feel are especially
noteworthy or relevant. You can also let
the employer know that you are willing
to relocate or that you have a mutual
acquaintance. You should demonstrate
that you have done your homework on
the organization and know how you can
be an asset to the employer. Prepare an
original cover letter for each job – NOT
a form letter.
Cover letters for advertised
listings
1. Research the employer
Researc h the prospective employer’s
organization to see how your skills and
abilities meet the organization’s needs,
promoted by
stm Resources to Research Employers.
In your cover letter, show why you are
a good ? t. Send the letter to a speci? c
person whenever possible; otherwise, use
―Dear Hiring Manager‖ or ―Dear Human
Resources Manager.‖
2. Analyze the job description
Take a good look at the job responsibilities
and quali? cations and design your cover
letter to match these as much as you can.
Often job listings are short and vague.
In this case, draw from your research
of similar jobs to infer what skills and
abilities might be required. For instance, if
you were looking for a job with a bank, it
would be appropriate to mention courses
and past experience related to ? nance.
3. Analyze your background
Think about your background in relation to
the job responsibilities and quali? cations.
Ask yourself, ―What have I d one that
is similar to what this job entails?‖
Consider courses taken, classroom
projects, past work experience, summer
jobs, internships, volunteer experience,
extracurricular involvement (on- and off-
campus) and travel.
Beyond Advertised Listings
Networking and research leads
Youwillalsowritecoverletterstoemployers
that you identify in your independent job
search. Through networking or research,
you will learn of speci? c openings or job
titles that interest you.
Be sure to indicate in the ? rst paragraph
what position you’re seeking. If a
speci? c person alerted you to the job
opening, include that person’s name
and professional af? liation(e.g.,
―Professor Jane Seymore in Berkeley’s
Civil Engineering Department suggested
I contact you about your Sanitary
Engineer opening‖). Employers receive
many letters and resumes. They are more
likely to read letters that mention speci? c
people they know.
Prospecting Letters
If you are inquiring about possible
openings, you are sending an Inquiry or
Prospecting Letter. Address your letter to
a speci? c individual, usually the person
who supervises the functional area where
you’d like to work. Be as speci? c as
possible about the type of position that
interests you. Ideally, your research will
reveal the job titles used by this employer.
If not, use commonly understood generic
job titles in the ? eld. The more speci? c
you are, the clearer it will be that you’ve
done your homework and that you know
what the employer needs and what you
have to offer.

I am interested in your Logistics Coordinator position, which I found listed in Opportunity NOCs. My last
position was as a Seminar Scheduler for a diversity training company in San Jose, in which I supported
people on the front lines (facilitators, teachers, therapists, activists) with the logistical help they needed. I am
looking for work in the nonpro? t sector, and my experience and degree in Ethnic Studies make me a strong
candidate for the Logistics Coordinator position.
The enclosed resume describes my education and experience. I enjoy seminar coordination and learned a great
deal in my last position. I would very much like to continue workshop planning. Most of my negotiations
with clients and co-workers took place on the phone, requiring excellent communication and documentation
skills. I have been using primarily Macs at the of? ce, but I have used PCs off and on since high school. I am
not afraid to try new software, and am looking for a position where I can continue to grow and learn.
I can bring to the table hard work, commitment, integrity, humor, and fairness. I am drawn to the Humanitarian
Foundation because its focus is aligned with my interests, which include diversity issues, ecological
awareness, and children’s rights. I want to be in a work environment where people are honored and where I
feel that I am making a difference. I believe that your organization provides such an environment.
The calendar on the Foundation’s website indicates that many of your large events are at night and on
weekends, which my schedule can easily accommodate. I am available for interviews at your convenience
and look forward to learning more about your organization. Thank you for your consideration.

establish this, you may lose the reader’s interest.
Stress what you have to offer, not what you hope to gain. I have followed your company with considerable interest for some time. I am particularly impressed by the investment community’s high regard for your performance. Recently I read
that your earnings are expected to increase as you continue to bene? t from the introduction of
new products and from a growing international presence. These developments have prompted
my letter.
I will graduate from the University of California, Berkeley in May 2007 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. My experience includes the assembly, con? guration, troubleshooting and support of
Intel Pentium and PentiumPro-based PCs and servers running Microsoft Windows 2000 and NT. As
a systems professional with your organization, I would bring a knowledge of Intel-based computer programs as well as skills in other technical areas such as video, electrical, communications and networking.
While I do not know what your staf? ng plans might be at this time, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you. I will telephone your of? ce to arrange an appointment.
Sincerely,
Susa n T. Davis

Dear Ms. Smith: Cover Letter

Begin with the name of your mutual
acquaintance–this creates an immediate
connection.
Jane Jones, a friend and Senior Financial Analyst at Sony Pictures, suggested that I forward my resume to you. Based on my conversations with Jane and a review of your website, I believe Sony Pictures is an outstanding match for my
educational skills, work experience and professional interests. I am a highly motivated individual with a passion for
? nance and hope to contribute to the team at Sony Pictures as a Financial Analyst.
My interest in ? nance has grown steadily during my business school studies, driven mostly by my desire to understand
how business decisions are made. Beginning with my ? rst ? nance class, and continuing with more in-depth study of
corporate ? nance and managerial accounting, I have been able to see how ? nancial data can be used to make business
decisions - whether in launching a new product or acquiring a new company. The classes have also made it evident that
the decision-making process does not occur in a vacuum, but requires keeping a big-picture perspective. This appeals to
me tremendously as it follows directly from what I have been studying: business with its detailed focus on the company,
and economics with its broad perspective on industry and the marketplace. Working as a Financial Analyst with Sony
Pictures would be a natural extension of the academic foundation I have gained.
My work experiences also re? ect my desire to become involved with challenging projects such as those offered by
your organization. At Boston Scienti? c, I created numerous forecast and inventory reports for the Global Supply Chain Management team. This required signi? cant atten tion to detail and analytical work. I further developed my communication
and ? nancial skills by working on numerous cost ef? ciency projects for the Microbiology department, including the
creation of a corporate-wide standing order matrix.
It is building from these experiences that I would contribute to Sony Pictures. My educational background, corporate experience, interpersonal and analytical skills, and fascination with ? nancial decision-making would enable me to do
outstanding work as a Financial Analyst. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions, as I would like
to meet with you at your convenience to discuss the possibility of full time employment.
Sincerely,
P eter Cummings
