18Cover Statement to Include with Your Resume:
A Cover Statement Improves Your Success in Setting Up an
Interview! Why?
A good cover statement shows the employer that you are focused on working at their company
and have good reasons for wanting to be there. Look online at the company website or go to the
library and ask the reference librarian for help in looking up information about the company.
Include a sentence or two that makes use of information you have found. This demonstrates your
interest in the company.
The cover statement, written in one to three paragraphs, briefly explains why you are applying
and summarizes the reasons you are a great candidate for the position. It is similar to a cover
letter, but shorter.
SAMPLE COVER STATEMENT:
Here is a sample statement to include on a cover sheet with a resume attached:
Date
Dear Human Resources Department Staff:
I am very excited to be applying for an internship with Worldwide Music Group (WMG). The
internship opening in the marketing department came to my attention through the Anytown
College Career Services Center. One of the reasons that I am applying for an internship with
WMG is the wonderful roster of artists that you represent, both in North America and all over the
world that I found listed on your website.
The attached resume lists my background and strengths. Please let me know when we may meet
to discuss the marketing internship at WMG. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Randall Chang
