It\u2019s your chance to show who you are, why you care about the role, and how you\u2019re the perfect fit for the company. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether this is your first time writing a cover letter or you\u2019re just looking for new ways to make yours stand out, we\u2019ve crafted a guide to help you create a cover letter that gets noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Start with a Professional Header<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cover letter is first and foremost, a letter. So, at the top, include your contact information and the recipient\u2019s details:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your Information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Name, phone number, email, and the date.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recipient\u2019s Information<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Name (if available), job title, company name, and address.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: Always try to do some digging to find the name of the person who will be reading your cover letter. But, if you can\u2019t find the hiring manager\u2019s name, use a general greeting like \u201cDear Hiring Manager\u201d or \u201cDear [Company] Team.\u201d Try to avoid outdated phrases like \u201cTo Whom It May Concern.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Open with a Strong Introduction<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opening paragraph is your first impression, so make it count! Here\u2019s what to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">State the position you\u2019re applying for.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share a quick, enthusiastic sentence about why you\u2019re interested in the role or company.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mention how you found out about the position (optional).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: \u201cI am excited to apply for the Assistant Restaurant Manager position at [Company Name]. With my passion for delivering exceptional dining experiences and my proven leadership skills, I believe I would be a valuable asset to your team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: If possible, personalize this section by mentioning something specific about the company\u2019s values, culture, or recent accomplishments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Highlight Your Relevant Skills and Experiences<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body of your cover letter is where you connect the dots between your background and the job requirements. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Paragraph 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Highlight your <em>most relevant<\/em> experiences or skills. Use specific examples to show how you\u2019ve succeeded in similar roles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Paragraph 2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Explain how those experiences and skills make you the ideal candidate for this position.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: \u201cIn my previous role as a Front Desk Supervisor, I led a team of six to improve guest satisfaction scores by 20% within six months. My ability to create efficient workflows and foster positive team dynamics aligns perfectly with [Company Name]\u2019s commitment to outstanding hospitality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: Reference keywords from the job description to ensure your cover letter aligns with what the employer is looking for. Be particular about the experiences and skills you choose to highlight. Make sure that you cherry pick the instances that demonstrate the value you will bring to the role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Show Your Passion and Knowledge<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers want to know that you\u2019re genuinely interested in their company. Dedicate a small paragraph to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Express your enthusiasm for the company\u2019s mission or goals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share why this role excites you personally.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: \u201cWhat excites me most about [Company Name] is your dedication to sustainability in the hospitality industry. As someone passionate about eco-friendly practices, I am inspired by your initiatives to reduce waste and source locally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: Before you even sit down to write this letter, you should have done some research on the company. This is a great place to mention anything you found from that research such as: the company\u2019s projects, awards, or community involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Close with a Strong Call to Action<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final paragraph should thank the reader and invite them to take the next step. Here\u2019s what to include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brief summary of why you\u2019re a great fit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A polite request for an interview or further discussion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gratitude for their time and consideration.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Example: \u201cThank you for considering my application. I am eager to bring my skills and enthusiasm to the team at [Company Name]. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your success and would be happy to provide additional information or references at your convenience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: End with a professional closing phrase like \u201cSincerely,\u201d followed by your name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>6. Proofread and Tailor for Each Job<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After writing your cover letter, take the time to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure your tone is professional yet enthusiastic.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customize it for the specific job and company.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: Ask a trusted friend or mentor to review your cover letter, or use an AI tool for an extra layer of editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your cover letter is a powerful tool for showcasing your personality, passion, and qualifications. <\/span>To download our resume template, click the button below that corresponds with the platform you would prefer.
