INTRODUCTION

Grab the reader’s attention right away with a unique opening line. In a few sentences, describe what role you’re applying for, why you’re interested in the job (and company itself), and what makes you a good fit.

MAIN BODY

The body should be one to two short paragraphs that make relevant points about your qualifications. Do not summarize your resume! Includes list of responsibilities of your position,, projects you participated in skills you acquired, and above all the impact that you had. Feel free to include accomplishment and awards.

CLOSING

Re-emphasize why you’re interested in the position, why you’re passionate about the company, and why you’d make a good fit. In addition, describe how you, if hired, would contribute to the company. Make it too short with maximum 2-3 lines only.

CALL-TO-ACTION

Your closing should initiate action by explaining what you will do next (e.g., call the employer) or motivate the reader to contact you to set up an interview. Always close by showing appreciation.

SINCERELY,

(Your Name)
