RETAIL SALES ASSOCIATE

(555) 123-4567 [email protected] 47 Main Street, City, State ZIP

Today’s Date Dear [Hiring Manager’s Name],


Hiring Manager’s Name
123 Company Address The first paragraph is where you introduce yourself to the hiring
City, State Zipcode manager. Use this space to explain who you are, your professional
(xxx) xxx-xxxx areas of expertise, where you discovered the open position, and the
[email protected] reason(s) you wish to apply.

The second paragraph is where you address the specific responsibilities


of the role outlined in the job description. Discuss how your work
experience and job-related abilities can help you meet the company’s
expectations for new hires. To simplify this, try including exact words
and skills listed in the job description.

 Use bullet points to highlight major professional achievements


 Remember to quantify your bullet points (use numbers)
 Cover letters that include numbers attract more interviews

In your third paragraph, look into the background of your target


company and figure out how they’re contributing to their particular
industry. Highlight how you fit into their future plans, as well as the ways
you can assist them with any goals they seem to have.

The last paragraph is where you directly ask the hiring manager to act
on your letter. That’s why many career coaches refer to it as the “call to
action” paragraph of a cover letter. Let the hiring manager know you’re
excited about the opportunity to be interviewed. Provide your contact
details. Mention that you’ll reach out in a week if you don’t hear back
from them, and thank them for the time they took to read your cover
letter.

Sincerely,
Olivia Davies

Dear Job Seeker,


We recently updated all of the cover letter
templates on ResumeGenius.com to reflect
the most recent HR and hiring trends.

Our goal is to give our users the best chance at landing job interviews, and our templates are a major part of how we
aim to accomplish this goal. 

Each of our newly designed and re-designed templates were built specifically to bypass the Applicant Tracking
System software companies use to filter out candidates, and are formatted to be visually pleasing and easy to read.

But while our cover letter templates take the pain out of formatting and provide a strong foundation for your own
cover letter, it takes effective writing to win over the hearts of employers, hiring managers, and recruiters.

letter that showcases how you’re the best person for the job:
