Here are some tips for Covering Letters
Back up your claims
Companies thrive on data. Don’t say you “improved” something, say by what metric and 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
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.
