How to write a cover letter: template and tips

CV Majster knowledge base

A cover letter is an excellent complement to your CV. It lets you expand on your achievements and explain why you want to work for a particular company.

The letter should be tailored to its reader. Avoid sending template letters in which you only change the company name.

Focus on the value you can bring to the team. Explain how your experience will translate into the new employer's success.

Key tips:

  • Address the letter to a specific person: the hiring manager or the head of the department.
  • Start with a strong opening that catches the reader's attention right away.
  • Do not repeat your CV word for word: expand on your most interesting projects.
  • Make sure the language is correct and the layout is tidy.
