Final cover-letter review

Check for company, role or recipient details left over from another application. Do not invent a recipient name.

Does the opening explain the role and your reason for applying? Describe the contribution you want to make rather than only praising the company.

Match one listing requirement to a real example. Reduce generic adjectives and foreground your action and evidence.

Check the source of statements about the company. Avoid asserting information whose currency you have not checked.

Explain why one decision or experience matters to this role instead of pasting a sequence of CV bullets.

Align claims about duration, results, language and skills with reality. Do not invent experience to strengthen the draft.

Keep contact preferences and any availability concise. Check those details are still correct for this application.

Read the draft aloud, remove repeated sentences and check recipient and signature. Inspect the actual exported file before sending.
