Crafting Your Cover Letter

Writing an effective cover letter

To be effective, the body paragraphs of your cover letter must really sell you as the best candidate for the job. This area should highlight your accomplishments and qualifications, as well as explain how you can benefit the company. It should be easy to read and have a positive tone.

Each paragraph of your cover letter has a different purpose, and there are strategies you can use to make each paragraph effective.

Use the interactive below to look at the three body paragraphs in Samantha's cover letter to see what she did, and what you can do in your own cover letter, to make each more effective.
