How to Write a Cover Letter That Matters

Security Cleared Jobs: Who's Hiring & How

This special Bonus Episode of our podcast gives you the inside scoop on writing a cover letter that counts. A well-written cover letter is a useful weapon in your cleared job search arsenal. It can set you apart from other cleared candidates, and can make the difference when two candidates are close. Many recruiters dread cover letters because they’re essentially all the same, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Stand out from your competition with these tips!

• 2:33 Write your cover letter to the hiring manager, not “To Whom It May Concern.” Research and address a specific person.
• 3:10 A cover letter is not all about you—it’s about solving the hiring manager’s problems with your skills.
• 6:06 Skip the clichés—don’t claim to be “self-motivated” or a “team player.” Show results instead.
