Questions Corner: Your Questions Answered!<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
Did you see the Career Center tabling in Worner Campus Center on Halloween? We asked you to share questions you were afraid to ask the Career Center so we can answer them in our newsletter. <\/span><\/div>\n
This week’s question is: How do I write a Cover Letter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A cover letter is an important part of the application process in which you have the opportunity to introduce yourself to an employer and describe why you are the best candidate for the role. To begin writing a cover letter, you\u2019ll want to start by doing some research on the company and the specific position. Reflect on your own experiences and skills and think about which ones make you the best fit for the position. (Hint: using a T-Chart to compare the company\/position with your experiences is a helpful practice! See an example in our Cover Letter Guide<\/a>)<\/p>\n

When writing the cover letter, start with a strong introduction to express your interest and enthusiasm. Highlight your key qualifications and experiences that align with the job requirements, providing a few examples. Close the cover letter out with a brief conclusion and restate your strong interest in the position. Remember to keep it concise- just 1 page! Your cover letter also serves as a writing sample, so make sure to have it reviewed by a Career Consultant or the Writing Center.<\/p>\n

For more information and details on writing a cover letter, check out our Cover Letter Resources<\/a> page! Come to the Career Center to talk through cover letters in a drop-in appointment (Monday – Thursday 1-4 pm) or by making a formal appointment<\/a> on Handshake. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
