Cover Letter Template-With Contact Person

Here's a ready-to-use template for writing an effective cover letter when applying for a job. A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. Employers use cover letters as a way to screen applicants for available jobs and to determine which candidates they would like to interview.

Creating a Cover Letter With a Contact Person's Name

The cover letter is a tool to help you introduce yourself to a potential employer in a memorable, personal way.

A well-crafted cover letter expands the information on your resume for the reader, highlighting some of your skills and accomplishments.

Strive to find out the name and job title of a contact person to whom you can address your letter. If no contact person is listed, call the Human Resources department or visit the company website to inquire.

Then plan the content of your letter based on the requirements of the job you’re applying for; be sure to carefully study each job posting as you write the letter to apply for that position.

Use the Cover Letter Template (With Contact Person) in the Attachments box below, and refer to "Easy Steps for Cover Letter Completion" as you  work with this template.
