Cover Letters Should:
Be no longer than one page in length
Contain the appropriate person's name and job title
Be written in a positive manner, showing your “can do” attitude
Clearly show how you fit the job that you’ve applied for
Conclude on a forward-looking, enthusiastic note
Be checked and rechecked for accurate grammar and spelling
Be well-presented on plain A4 paper
