What should you include in Cover Letter?

Always write a unique cover letter for each job post.

Write each of your cover letter individually, targeting the specific needs or requirements per job post.

Always use the same keywords the employer did. This shows that you were paying attention to the job
post.

Answer specific questions or include special keywords the employer put in the job description to prove
you can follow directions well.

Provide links directly to some relevant examples of your work (if any). Make sure you’ve added the
sample work in your portfolio.

Try to inform the employer about your availability (when and how much you can work).

Always find a gender-neutral way to say hello, say “Dear Hiring Manager” or use the employer’s name (if
they’ve mentioned it).
