Cover letter template

When you are applying for jobs, your cover letter is an important tool – it’s how you introduce yourself to an employer. Here is a template to help you structure your cover letter and what to include:

Your contact information and date

Your name, address, phone number, email address, and date the letter.

Opening greeting directed at the reader

Include a person’s name if possible, i.e. “Dear John”. If this isn’t possible, you can address to letter to “Dear Hiring Manager” or “To whom it may concern”.
