Now that you've presented your qualifications, it's time to
communicate more about yourself in the form of a cover letter.
Style and form of the letter are your choice, but here are some
recommended areas to cover:
- Share your personality: The cover letter is a great opportunity
to share who you are with the hiring manager. You can use this to
make an impression, but also to demonstrate if you are a good
culture fit for the agency.
- Connect to the position: Demonstrate how the skills you listed
in your resume connect with the requirements of the job. Give
context to how you will meet and exceed the expectations of the
agency.
- Constraints or considerations: It's helpful to tell the hiring
manager any important details, such as when you're able to start or
if you would need to re-locate. Providing these details early on
are helpful in the hiring decision.
- Call to action: Be sure to sell yourself convincing and ask to
be moved onto the next step. Confidence is an important quality in
any candidate, and you should be sure to demonstrate your own.
