Reviewing and gaining a strong understanding of the job description will help you write a tailored cover letter. Highlight the key skills or qualifications they are seeking that align with your strengths. 问问你自己:

- Briefly explain why you are a good match—the skills/experiences you bring that you will elaborate on in the next couple paragraphs.
