Paragraph #1 – Reference the position and note how you found out about the job Paragraph #2 – Why are you interested in the position and what are your qualifications Paragraph #2 or #3 – Support your qualifications with examples of experience Paragraph #3 or #4 – Restate your interest in the position and request an interview Avoid writing more than one page; You are competing with other applicants, employers just don’t have the time to read two pages.
