Here are some tips for better Cover Letters
Back up your claims
Companies thrive on data. Don’t say you “improved” something, say by what metric and by how much!
Understated style
CVs/Resumés and covering letters should be readable, and laid out in a familiar way to recruiters. Keep your font choices small and conservative, and make sensible decisions about laying out your information on a regular-sized document.
Show common beliefs
What is the employer looking for? Use words that show you share the same goals and crucially that you've come curious and prepared.
Know your company
Having knowledge of the company’s products is going to help show you will be able to empathise with customers, and will assure recruiters that you’ll be up and running in no time.
Company culture
Mentioning the fact that you understand and can fit within the culture of the organisation is very powerful as it shows you know and shows you're confident you can grow within the company.
Seed your stories
Seeding some of the STAR stories in your Covering Letter help demonstrate relevant experience and assure recruiters that you have strong examples to use in behavioural interview questions.
