What is the position?
If you can, find out the name and title of the person you’re writing to. Introduce yourself and tell what job you’re applying for. Spend a paragraph or two talking about your past experience and why it would make you a good candidate, and why you are interested in this job.
Try not to use the same generic cover letter for every job opening. The point of a cover letter is that you can convey personal information and experience that you can’t put in a resume. This is a good place to express your enthusiasm for the job opening, or good personal qualities that you bring to a job, like a good work ethic or initiative.
Good luck!
