How to write a cover letter
A strong cover letter is short - under one page - and specific to the job. Four paragraphs is plenty:
- Opening: the role you're applying for and why you want to work at this company in particular
- Proof: one or two achievements that show you can do the job, with numbers where possible
- Fit: what you'd bring to their team, product or customers
- Close: thank them and say you'd welcome a conversation
