Keep it simple. Don’t try to squeeze everything into the cover letter. Remember, this document
supplements your resume. You want to use the cover letter to re-highlight the most important
things and explain them in more detail than your resume.
Connect each theme with the job. It’s not enough to just say ‘ I have good teamwork skills ‘ –
you’ll want to say ‘ I have good teamwork skills and that’s important for this job because… ‘ or ‘
that will benefit me in the role because…’ Always try to connect what you’re highlighting back
to why it matters to the employer.
