Professional Stationery

When crafting your cover letter, create professional stationery for yourself, mirroring the contact information from your resume. You will still want your name, your city, state and zip code, phone number, email, and personalized LinkedIn URL.

Example:

Indiana "Indy" Jones

Indianapolis, IN 55555 | 123-456-7890 | Indiana.Jones@gmail.com | linkedin.com/in/jonesindy

Considerations for all Cover Letters

  • Be sure to include keywords and phrases from the position description.
  • Still focus primarily on what you can provide for them.
  • If readily available, be sure to include the hiring manager's name.
