As he explored career fields in Phase 1, Evan found several companies he was particularly interested in. They had similar values to Evan, including supporting work/life balance, and challenging projects in areas Evan was passionate about. Evan didn’t see any current job openings, so Evan looked on LinkedIn® for a current employee at the manager level. He prepared a cover letter, detailing the
specific values that attracted him to the company as well as his skills and qualifications. He asked to connect with the manager through LinkedIn®. When the manager accepted his invitation, he reviewed the manager’s profile and made some adjustments to his cover letter, highlighting that they went to the same school and were part of the same nonprofit organization. He then sent his cover letter with his resume attached through email.
How can you discover more information about prospective employers to use in your cover letter?
Review the employer’s website and social media channels such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Do an Internet search for the employer and look for any recent news. Make sure to review any LinkedIn profiles for connections you are contacting.
