A general cover letter
In the body of the letter we convince a future employer why we are the right person for the job. We prove it in a few words. We write about contests, carried out and invented projects. We describe our personal qualities that make us stand out in the crowd. We don’t generalize e.g. I am creative. This is pointless. We should read the job offer with attention and describe those qualities which are demanded from us from the employer. For example as a sales person we should be communicative, amiable. As an accountant we should be patient and scrupulous. In the case of a graphic designer the demanded quality is creativity. If we include information about our interests they should also be related to the job position we apply for. Otherwise they are not worth mentioning.
