Universal Cover Letter Tips

  • Address a specific person if you can find the hiring manager's name
  • Keep it to 3–4 paragraphs and never more than one page
  • Match the tone and culture of the company (startup vs corporate)
  • Use 2–3 keywords from the job description naturally

What NOT to Do

  • Don't open with "I am writing to apply for…"
  • Don't copy-paste your resume into the letter
  • Don't send the same letter to every company without tailoring

The Perfect Cover Letter Structure

1
Opening Paragraph

State the role, company, and your #1 relevant achievement. No "I am passionate about…"

2
Body (1–2 paragraphs)

Tell one story connecting your experience to their specific problem. Show you've researched them.

3
Closing Paragraph

Request an interview directly. State what you'd bring in the first 30 days.
