Dear [employer’s name],

organization.

• What you read or heard about the employer – only positive things.
• Discuss opportunities to practice your profession.
Third Paragraph
• Highlight why the employer would be interested in you.
• Some things to talk about: experience, academic credentials, honors. This is not a rehash of your
resume. Include items not specifically covered in your resume.
• Key points from your resume (elaborate on them; tell a little story).
• Keep statements factual.
Fourth Paragraph (If applicable)
• Can provide explanations for what is on their resume (example: low GPA – you worked while in
