The job of a cover letter
Make the relationship obvious.
A useful letter connects what the employer needs with proof from your background. It should add motive and context—not generic enthusiasm or new facts you never supplied.
01
The role’s real need
Pull forward the responsibilities and problems that make this opportunity distinct.
02
Your strongest evidence
Select supplied achievements that demonstrate credible overlap with those needs.
03
The connective tissue
Explain why that experience matters here instead of repeating resume bullets.
