Writing a Cover Letter - Tip #3

After writing some keywords in your Cover Letter, it is fundamental to distinguish yourself from all the other candidates and to captivate the person who is reading "you" by small gestures that make a huge difference:

2. Captivate with a "Hello" and direct your Cover Letter to someone that actually exists (a name, not an unspecific "Dear Sir/Madame"). 

Begin your Cover Letter with:
"Hello, dear (nome)

I am Blablabla..."

3. Exemplify more.

When you write about your personal/professional motivation for that specific job, you should always demonstrate that you are the candidate that they are looking for by exemplifying that you fill their requisites with your own experience. For instance, if you say that you are a "hard worker", then you must give an example that truly demonstrate that. 

4. Highlight your intention to get that job opportunity at the end of your Cover Letter. 

At the end, try something different! Do not end-up your Cover Letter with a standard "I am looking forward to hearing from you"; instead, refer that you would like to have a chance of personally explain why you fill their requisites.

Add your phone contact and/or email as well. 

The last but not the least, do not forget to thank him/her/them for his/her/their time.
