JOB COVER LETTER : For A New Graduate

Writing a cover letter for that first job after school is kind of a catch 22. On one hand, you don’t have much material to work with; on the other, you need a strong resume to get you in the door.

Don’t fret: Lots of people have done this before you and gone on to amazing careers. You’ll just want to highlight what you’ve learned in school, side jobs or internships that is relevant to the position. View our college graduate cover letter sample below as a guideline,

Dear Ms. Yu:

Your advertisement for an HR assistant fits my qualifications perfectly, and I am writing to express my interest in and enthusiasm for the position.

After completing a business degree from Rutgers University in May, I enrolled in a human resource development program to enhance my credentials in my chosen field. Course highlights include: Leadership in an Organizational Setting, Performance & Task Analysis in Human Resource Development, and Technology in HR Settings.

Based on your description of the ideal candidate, I also offer:

 

  • A solid educational foundation in organizational development, employee training and development skills and knowledge of how to use technology to improve individual/organizational performance
  • A proven ability to build rapport with individuals from all backgrounds
  • A track record of excellent performance as a part-time/summer employee concurrent with full-time college enrollment

I would very much like to meet in person to share more of my qualifications and learn more about your HR support needs. Please feel free to call me at (555) 555-5555 or email at [email protected].

Thank you for your time and review of the enclosed resume, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Sincerely,

Josh Michaels
