Find a Job in Cambridge

If you're trying to find a job in Cambridge, a strong cover letter can help you stand apart from other candidates.

Many candidates underestimate the power of a well-written cover letter. But at Express Employment Professionals Cambridge, we know how helpful a strong cover letter can be for job applicants. With the right approach, you can transform yourself from just another name on a resume into a leading candidate.

Below, we've compiled five of our best tips for writing cover letters, making it easier to find a job that works for you.

Find a Job with a Stronger Cover Letter

1. Avoid Boilerplate Templates. When you're writing cover letters, you want to avoid a generic "fill in the blanks" approach. This might make it easier to write several letters for different jobs. But it's easy for hiring managers to spot these letters, and they reveal a lack of effort by the applicant.

2. Do Your Research. The strongest cover letters are carefully tailored to not just the job, but also the company. Before writing your letter, take the time to research the position and the company. Then, show why you're uniquely qualified for this particular opportunity.

3. Focus on the Employer's Goals. When writing a cover letter, you want to put yourself in the employer's shoes. They aren't just looking for a highly qualified candidate. They want someone who they know can deliver results. So try to showcase the way you can help the company achieve important goals.

4. Find Personal Connections. Your cover letter can showcase your personal side more effectively than your resume. So take the time to highlight why this opportunity is a great personal fit for you. In particular, highlight the personal qualities that will allow you to thrive in this position.

5. Be Brief & Be Clear. Hiring managers appreciate a short and to-the-point cover letter. They also appreciate when cover letters use direct, straightforward language. Instead of trying to impress hiring managers with a big vocabulary, show them you can communicate clearly.
