Cover Letter Template Instructions/Tips:

• Replace your name and contact information in the heading
• Make sure to replace or delete any words in red color.. when done editing, select all and make sure everything is in black colored font
• The first paragraph simply requires you to include the job position and a very short statement that defines your overall experience.
• The body of the cover letter expands upon this initial description of experience and should be one or 2 paragraphs that summarize your overall experience. Use the samples and guides in this site to help you get ideas for building this section.
• The last paragraph allows you to replace some of the information and lets you drive home your point. Try not to be overly repetitive with words, but it's ok to repeat ideas. Use a thesaurus if necessary.
