10. Last but not the last:- Clean social media presence

COVER LETTERS

A cover letter accompanies the resume when submitting an internship or job application. It is an opportunity to infuse some voice and personality, providing an opportunity to convince an employer that you’re a good fit for a position.

WHERE TO BEGIN:-

Use the job description to write your cover letter. Print out the posting and go through it with a highlighter. Any skills, experience, qualifications, and key features that resonate with you, highlight! Write your cover letter emphasizing those key skills. The cover letter is an example of how you can show and how you can match (fit) the opportunity. The cover letter should be short and easy to read. Avoid large blocks of text.

WHAT TO WRITE

Your cover letter should combine two elements: your story and the position description.

Draw upon previous internships, jobs, academic work, volunteering, and personal projects to identify three to four skills that you bring to the position.

Bridge the experience on your resume with the needs of the employer. Do not forget this step. 

Incorporate some of the key words from the job posting into your resume and cover letter as well, where you have relevant experience.

Venn Diagram showing relationship between your story and the opportunity. This should be your cover letter. Simple and Easy.

2. How your skill set can help the job requirement. 

PART-2 READ ABOUT POSITION DESCRIPTION

2. Demonstrate how your skills  can make you the right applicant. 

Connect both stories and your cover letter should reflect these.
