1. Identify the hiring manager

While you should always adhere to the instructions for submitting your application, ideally the cover letter should be addressed to the hiring manager. Often, the hiring manager can be identified through the title of the person you would be reporting to. If you are unable to determine the hiring manager, address the letter to a member of the human resources team.

2. Focus your cover letter

The cover letter should make a clear case for why and how you are a strong candidate for the position you are applying for. Be explicit about connections between your experience and the job requirements. It is not necessary to include projects, coursework, internships, or professional roles that are not pertinent to the job; your CV will provide the full scope of your experience.
