What to notice in the examples

A strong cover letter does not repeat the resume line by line. It selects evidence, explains context and results, and makes the connection between past work and the employer’s current need visible.

  • Address the role and organization specifically.
  • Use one or two strong examples instead of many shallow claims.
  • Explain the relevance of achievements rather than merely listing them.
  • Keep enthusiasm grounded in the actual role, product, mission, or problem.
