Résumé Worksheet: Cover Letter and Application Email

Interview skills lesson 20: The application email (cover letter) · Set 252 · 40 questions

Tip (Who, why you fit, close): Order: subject line → greeting → who you are and the role → why you are a good fit → a polite closing line → sign-off and name. Opening: “I am writing to apply for the weekend helper role at your bakery.” Why you fit: “I have helped at my family’s shop for two years and can handle billing.” Closing: “Thank you for considering my application.” Keep it short and tailored; mention and attach your résumé; no slang or emojis; never copy-paste one letter to everyone.
