Here’s a tip from recruiter Kelly Lafferty, CPSP that might surprise you: skip the cover letter. “Cover letters are repetitive. Spend that time making sure your resume is up to date, has the right key terms, and clearly shows your accomplishments.” A well-written resume is your best cover letter. It tells your story through results, not repetition. #LifeWorkSearch #ResumeTips #RecruiterInsights #CareerAdvice

Best closing lines for a cover letter The last lines of your cover letter are important. It is where you say thank you and show interest in the job. A good closing leaves a kind and strong message. Here are some simple ways to end your cover letter: 1. Say thank you “Thank you for reading my cover letter. I hope to hear from you soon.” 2. Show interest “I would be happy to join your team and help with your goals.” 3. Talk about your skills “I believe my skills can be helpful to your company.” 4. Ask for a chance “I would love to talk more about how I can help your team.” 5. Be confident and polite “I feel this job is a good match for me. Thank you for your time.” 6. Keep it short “Thanks again for your time and care.” #coverletter #resumehelp #resumetips #jobsearch #career #careercoach #cvwriting #coverletterwriting #coverletterhelp #coverlettertips
