Letters by Sector: HR

Your cover letter is a handshake -- it’s your first move to introduce yourself to your employers when you apply for a job. Like any good hand shakes, you want your cover letter to be strong, succinct, and make a great first impression. But how can you make a strong impression in Human Resources sector?

Show them what you’re capable of -- beyond explaining your previous work experiences, show the recruiters what you can do for them in the future. Determine the key priorities and requirements needed for the job and make it instantly clear for them that you can deliver on those key things.

Showcase your skills. If you think your past experiences isn’t enough, but you believe you are the perfect choice for the job, then try focusing on your skills, instead. Consider dedicating a section in your cover letter that address all the thing you can deliver in the role.
