Tips to do and not to do in a cover letter

1. Tips TO DO:

• In the first paragraph, address the name of the recruitment job and the information source you have known about the job from.
• Try to find out the name and position of the recruiter.
• Write the cover letter based on recruitment information on the recruitment ad; try to give specific examples of your relevant experiences to the recruitment job.
• Sign at the end of the cover letter.
• After finishing writing, read the letter again to check for any spelling or grammatical errors. You may also have others check this out for you.

• Specify in the letter that you attach with the letter a resume or other necessary documents.
• In the last paragraph, write your contact number.
