create a positive connection). Pique their interest: Explain why you are interested in their

company and why you chose to apply.

Give the Employer what your situation is (graduating student; years of experience in an

industry; transitioning from military, etc.). Next, SELL Yourself: Quickly show you’re

qualified to perform the job and what your VALUE really is! Use bulleted statements to grab

attention and convey your message quickly and efficiently.

3. Closing Paragraph

Be proactive, not passive here. Let the Manager know what you expect them to do and how to

contact you (include your Phone #).

Sincerely,

Your Signature
