Kickresume
Avoid saying “I think,” “I believe,” “I’m confident,” even “I feel.” These are cliché phrases that will only make you sound insecure. In-stead of “I believe my experience in PPC and content marketing would make me a great Social Media Manager,” say “My experience in PPC and content marketing would make me a great Social Media Manager.”
On top of that, you should also be mindful of your cover letter’s readability. Avoid long sentences and complicated phrases. Let your cover letter breathe.
Four things to remember whenwriting a cover letter
1: Tailor it to each job application.
2: This goes without saying but: keep it free from typos, spelling and grammar mistakes.
Kickresume can help you with that—our editors are here for you 24/7.
3: Never mention salary expectations.
4: Don’t use over-blown superlatives like: “I was the best in my class,” or “I was the top man on the team,” or “I’m the best candidate because…” Even if you really are the best in what you do, when you say it like that it sounds like boasting.
