COVER LETTER HERE:
Use the name of the person receiving your c.v.
Personalize, picture yourself reading the C.V., would you be more interested if the person
followed your career and give you a compliment? Of course. So, do that! Make it about the
employer.
Example:
“Dear Nancy,
I was thrilled to win Contract Magazine's 38th Annual Interiors Award.
I've followed your write-ups for years in "Apartment 34," "Wit + Delight," and other publications. In fact, some of
your ideas have helped me develop my own style, which served me greatly during the award selection process.
I think my 100+ compelling interiors designed for Renée Doherty Designs and other clients also owe a debt to your
theories. Likewise my commitment to delivering on time and under budget.
The opportunity to work closely with you to wow your clients would be a dream job. Can we schedule a call to
discuss creating future award-winning designs for Diversi-Whitmore?
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Stephanie Molina”
