Dear Ms. Darwin:

When I read your ad for an Associate Director II on the Marylandworks job site, I couldn't help noticing how well your requirements align with my experience, education, skills, and background.

Ability to strategically plan, develop and implement programs and operations toward achievement of team's mission, goals, and objectives.

The analytical skills to perform needs assessments, evaluate current programs, and initiate changes or adjustments to current systems and improve operations.

Success in having brought order out of chaos at an inner-city health clinic and vastly improving processes there.

Problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

Success in solving numerous problems at inner-city clinic, such as reducing number of emergency and drug-seeking patients; lobbying for HIV-information dissemination; and increasing number of patients that could be given routine care.

Financial and personnel management expertise.

Expertise in both areas, through public-health and office-management background.

Interpersonal and communication skills that promote ability to serve as a liaison and resource.

Significant experience giving presentations, speaking persuasively, and interacting successfully with diverse individuals.


Since my experience and expertise fit your requirements so closely, I am clearly one of the people you'll want to see.

Tips to Make Your Letter More Professional

  • Research the company and the specifics about the position so you can tailor your letter to the needs of the organization.
  • Avoid using too many sentences that start with "I" or writing in the passive voice (ex. "This experience enabled me to..." or "Through my internship, I was responsible for..."); instead, make yourself the subject of each sentence and use active descriptions (ex., "In this internship, I demonstrated sound judgment and problem-solving skills on a daily basis.").
  • Do not use contractions (I'd, didn't, it's).
  • Spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes are out of the question! Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, so make each cover letter an example of your best work.
  • Be sure to sign your letters. (Black ink is suggested)
  • Keep your letter short and simple. This is not the time to tell your whole life's story.
  • Have a Career Specialist review your cover letters during drop-in hours: Monday-Friday 1:30 – 4:30 and Wednesday 8:30am – 11:30am OR you can make an appointment anytime.
  • Use good quality paper that matches your resume paper and envelopes.

And at last the main thing:

What should the cover letter do for you?

It should answer followings question - Why should I hire you? It should grab the employers attention and point out why you, above all other applicants, should be contacted for a personal interview. If you are answering this correctly in your cover letter, you will get interview call next day. Checkout how to write a cover letter for more information on writing a cover letter.
