A cover letter checklist addresses the letter to the person managing the posting (not, To Whom it May Concern,). Make sure to use jargon-free language that prevents run-on sentences and clichés. Include only the most relevant information in your cover letter, usually one page or less.

What should be included in a cover letter checklist?

Key elements for writing a strong cover letter are:

Detailed information about you.
The date.
Name, title, address, and employer of the contact person.
The salutation.
The opening paragraph.
Next is the middle paragraph.
There is also a need for a second middle paragraph.
Contact information and a closing paragraph.

Below is a sample sentence that can be found in this file:

Ideally a job application letter is one page long.
Make a personalized letter and explain why you are interested in the job and company.
Make sure you're sending a proper response and to re-use the vocabulary and terminology as you read it in the job description or vacancy.

Pick your keywords wisely.
Choose the right file format.
