Cover Letter Template-No 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 No 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.

If you cannot find the name of a contact person to whom you can address your letter, do not say "Dear Hiring Manager." Instead, type "Human Resource Director" at the top of the inside address. Then type a subject line that states the title of the position instead of a salutation. Here's an example:

Subject: Medical Assistant Position

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