Cover Letter Crafting

Never use the same cover letter for every job. Tailoring your message increases your chances of getting noticed.
When tailoring your cover letter:
Mention the job title you are applying for
Refer to the company name and show interest in their work
Match your skills with the job requirements
Use keywords from the job description
Example:
I am excited to apply for the Junior Marketing Executive position at ABC Company. With strong communication skills and hands-on academic project experience, I am eager to contribute to your marketing team.
This approach shows recruiters that you have read the job description carefully and are genuinely interested.

2. Structuring the Cover Letter (Tone and Style)

A clear structure makes your cover letter easy to read and professional.
Opening Paragraph
Start with a confident and polite introduction:
Mention the position you are applying for
Briefly explain why you are interested
Keep the tone professional, positive, and confident.
Body Paragraph
This section explains why you are a good fit:
Highlight relevant skills and education
Mention internships, projects, or training
Explain how your skills match the role
Avoid repeating your CV word for word. Instead, explain your strengths in simple language.
Closing Paragraph
End your cover letter politely:
Express interest in an interview
Thank the employer for their time
Example:
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills can benefit your team. Thank you for considering my application.

3. Tone and Style Tips

Keep the cover letter short (one page)
Use clear and simple language
Avoid informal words or slang
Stay confident but not overconfident
Proofread for grammar and spelling errors
A well-structured, tailored cover letter combined with a strong CV greatly improves a fresher’s chances of landing interviews.
