How to Write a Cover Letter
The Four Parts of a Strong Cover Letter
Every ResumePly template follows this proven structure, so you always know what goes where.
1. Greeting
Address a real person.
Use the hiring manager's name when you can find it. If you can't, "Dear Hiring Manager" is a safe, professional choice in most countries.
2. Opening
Say why you are writing.
Name the role and company, then give one strong reason you are a fit. Recruiters decide quickly whether to keep reading.
3. Body
Prove it with results.
Pick one or two achievements that match the job description, and use numbers where you can. Explain what draws you to this company.
4. Closing and Sign-Off
Ask for the next step.
Thank the reader, say you would welcome an interview, and sign off with "Sincerely" or "Kind regards" followed by your name.
