Dropping a cold email for a role you are interested in? Want to grab attention of the hiring manager?
Always start with a cover letter in the body of the email. Here are 7 effective hacks to writing a cover letter.
Be VERY specific - do not write a generic one cover for every mail you send out
Show How You Can Solve Specific Problems - Don’t tell them about your amazing problem-solving skills. Explain the details of a particular problem you played a key role in solving. Better yet, if you know the company has a particular problem you could help solve, outline how you can help solve it.
Cut the length - one mobile screen; is the perfect size.
Add some humour - be subtle, not slapstick
Visually match your resume - font and size
Keep the design simple - if you are writing as a mail body, do not use colours or random underlines and italics. If you are attaching this on a career pages, keep the pdf simple
PDF always - as with your resume, the cover letter must always be a pdf
