How to write an outstanding job application
Everyone dreads those personal statement boxes on the job application form but we’ve all had to write ‘em and, if we’re in employment, they’ve clearly done the trick. Why would anyone literate need a guide to writing job applications?
Well, as an English teacher I certainly consider myself to be more than merely functionally literate and I some of the feedback on my ability to write a letter of application I had last year was very hard to hear.
The head teacher of a school at which I’d applied to become an assistant head told me the reason I wasn’t called for interview was because he’d been put off by my application letter. He didn’t like my writing style and thought it wasn’t specific enough. In particular he disliked the fact that I’d put several phrases in ‘inverted commas’ and used too many italics.
What do you do with this kind of criticism? Should I write it off as the views of one individual and stay true to myself, or should I take on board the advice offered wholesale? This sounds like a trite rhetorical question, but for a few weeks I felt really torn. I know it’s impossible to second guess exactly what someone else wants to hear and even if you could, you’d probably regret it, but still: if only there was a winning formula.
A few weeks later, I attended a course rune by Hays Leadership called Aspiring Leaders. I had very little idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised to discover the thrust of the course was on securing and succeeding at interviews for school leadership positions. Perfect.
The advice was that applicants should use the National Standards for Headship to structure their applications. A copy of these can be downloaded here .
The standards are:
- shaping the future
- leading learning and teaching
- developing self and working with others
- managing the organisation
- securing accountability and
- strengthening community.
I am ashamed to say, I knew nothing about these standards beforehand and it made perfect sense to demonstrate my understanding of these qualities in any application. The course leader went through what they each meant and I would recommend reading through them and making some detailed notes before beginning the application process.
Some schools design their job description and person specification around these standards which makes it very straightforward to construct your application. Others don’t. The advice offered in these cases is to work out which parts of the person spec/job description apply to which standards. So, if you’re asked to demonstrate “ Courageous and committed leadership through effective role modeling” you would slot this into your ‘managing the organisation’ section and, “ A significant contributor to strategic thinking and development” would come under ‘shaping the future’ . I’d advise putting the whole lot into a speadsheet to work out exactly what should go where.
The other important piece of advice is to make sure that for each of the standards you have a clear example which shows the context you are working in, what your vision was or is, the actions you have taken to implement your vision and the impact they have had (CVAI). By doing this you avoid wooly hypothetical statements.
All of this was, needless to say, extraordinarily helpful. The next two applications I completed resulted in being offered an interview. One head told me that my application was “outstanding” and one of the best she had ever read! Sadly I didn’t get either job but that doesn’t matter. I now know how to write a leadership application and am confident that when the next job comes along I stand a very good chance of being interviewed for it.
Whilst this advice is aimed at leadership applications, the CVAI structure should be used in all applications and interviews whether you’re an NQT or a headteacher.

This is excellent advice. We have a free job application at our site. Though it was designed for employers, it may be useful for your viewers as you can download and practice filling it out before you actually go in and fill out a real job application.
Not sure if this is spam? Possibly useful although I’m not endorsing

Looking to score a job as an Executive Assistant?
You're going to need an awesome cover letter. This guide is your one-stop-shop for writing a job-winning Executive Assistant cover letter using our proven strategies, skills, templates, and examples.
All of the content in this guide is based on data from coaching thousands of job seekers (just like you!) who went on to land offers at the world's best companies.
If you want to maximize your chances of landing that Executive Assistant role, I recommend reading this piece from top to bottom. But if you're just looking for something specific, here's what's included in this guide:
- What To Know About Writing A Job-Winning Executive Assistant Cover Letter
- The Best Skills To Include On An Executive Assistant Cover Letter
How To Address An Executive Assistant Cover Letter
- 3 Executive Assistant Cover Letter Examples
The 8 Best Executive Assistant Cover Letter Templates
3 tips for writing a job-winning executive assistant cover letter.
Here's the step-by-step breakdown:
Executive Assistant Cover Letter Overview: What To Know To Write A Cover Letter That Wins More Job Offers
What do companies look for when they're hiring an Executive Assistant?
Companies want Executive Assistants who are organized and skilled in multitasking, especially in managing schedules, coordinating meetings, handling correspondence, and running expense reports. Companies also love candidates with excellent written and verbal communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and proficiency with office software.
Your cover letter should show the company that your personality and your experience encompass all of these things.
Additionally, there are a few best practices you want to follow to write a job-winning Executive Assistant cover letter:
- Properly address your letter: Begin your letter by addressing the hiring manager or team. Don't forget to state the specific Executive Assistant job you are interested in!
- Express your understanding of the company: Clearly articulate that you are well-familiarized with the company's products and the market, and tie this up with your skills, demonstrating how they align with their needs.
- Highlight your skills: Showcase your most relevant skills for the role, such as proficiency in management, travel, scheduling, office software, and so on.
- Tailor your cover letter for the job description: Emphasize your experience to meet the job requirements listed in the description.
- Be concise and clear: Your cover letter should be short and easy to read. Keep it to one page and focus on the good stuff!
- End with a call to action: Close with an effective call to action, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity and inviting further discussion on how you can contribute to the company's success.
- Proofread: Make sure to thoroughly proofread your cover letter for any grammatical errors or typos. A well-written, error-free letter can make a strong first impression. I recommend using Hemingway App or Grammarly to do this.
Let's dive deeper into each of these, so you have the exact blueprint you need to see success.
The Best Executive Assistant Skills To Include On Your Cover Letter
Keywords are one of the most important factors in your cover letter. They show employers that your skills align with the role, and they also help format your cover letter for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
If you're not familiar with ATS systems, they are pieces of software used by employers to manage job applications. They scan cover letters for keywords and qualifications and make it easier for employers to filter and search for candidates whose qualifications match the role.
If you want to win more interviews and job offers, you need to have a keyword-optimized cover letter. There are two ways to find the right keywords:
1. Leverage The 20 Best Executive Assistant Keywords
The first is to leverage our list of the best keywords and skills for an Executive Assistant cover letter.
These keywords were selected from an analysis of real Executive Assistant job descriptions sourced from actual job boards. Here they are:
- Communication
- Presentations
- Confidential Information
- Organization
- Microsoft Office
- Correspondence
- Project Management
- Time Management
- Coordination
- Collaborative
2. Use ResyMatch.io To Find The Best Keywords That Are Specific To Your Cover Letter And Target Role
The second method is the one I recommend because it's personalized to your specific cover letter and target job.
This process lets you find the exact keywords that your cover letter is missing when compared to the individual role you're applying for.
Here's how it works:
- Open a copy of your updated Executive Assistant cover letter
- Open a copy of your target Executive Assistant job description
- In the widget below, paste the job description and hit scan!
ResyMatch is going to scan the target job description and show you the exact keywords and skills that are relevant to the role and that you should weave into your cover letter.
If you're ready to check it out, grab your target job description and run your first scan here:
To start, paste your target job description (or multiple job descriptions) into the box below:
Scan to help you identify keywords and skills within your target job description.
Scanning...
If you're more of a visual learner, here's a video walking through this whole process so you can follow along:
Personalization is what makes a cover letter stand out. That starts from the very first sentence where you greet the person reading your cover letter! There are two ways to do this well:
1. Use The Hiring Manager's Name
The first, and best, is by including the hiring manager's name. Let's say that you discovered the hiring manager's name from a post on LinkedIn or via an informational interview.
This is the jackpot! All you need to do is use their name in the introduction, like this:
2. Use This Formula: To The [Department] Team at [Company]
If you don't have the hiring manager's name, no problem! You can address your cover letter to the team that you're applying to.
For example, if you're applying for a Product Marketing Manager role at Discovery Education, you might start your cover letter like this:
This shows the reader that this letter has been written specifically for them and the content inside of it will support that.
It's much more relevant and personal than “To Whom It May Concern!”
For more advice on writing a strong opening to your cover letter, check out this guide.
3 Executive Assistant Letter Examples For 2024
Now let's take a look at all of these best practices in action. Here are three cover letter examples for different situations from people with different backgrounds who are all applying for Executive Assistant roles:
Executive Assistant Cover Letter Example #1: A Traditional Background
Our first example is a cover letter written by a candidate with traditional experience. Here is what an example of their cover letter might look like:
Executive Assistant Cover Letter Example #2: A Non-Traditional Background
Our second cover letter example comes from a candidate looking to transition from a background in caregiving to an Executive Assistant role. This cover letter demonstrates how the author identifies and communicates their transferable skills:
Executive Assistant Cover Letter Example #3: Executive Assistant With Volunteer Experience
Our third example highlights a candidate who's only done volunteer work. Here is what their cover letter might look like:
At this point, you know all of the basics you'll need to write an Executive Assistant cover letter that wins you more interviews and offers. The only thing left is to take all of that information and apply it to a template that's going to help you get results.
We made that easy with our CoverBuild tool . It has 8 proven templates that were created with the help of recruiters and hiring managers at the world's best companies. These templates also bake in thousands of data points we have from the job seekers in our audience who have used them to land job offers.

Or use our templates to write your own from scratch.
You're off to a strong start! But I've got a few more tips to help you take your cover letter to the next level:
1. Use CoverBuild.io To Write Your Cover Letter In <2 Minutes
All of these tips and best practices work, but you still have to implement them. Normally, that'd mean you sitting down and spending hours brainstorming ideas, typing, deleting, and typing again, and then feeling absolutely drained.
Now there's a way to work around all of that so you save your best energy for the writing and edits that matter most. Here's how it works:
- Head to CoverBuild.io
- Select the “2 Minutes” option to have AI write your cover letter
- Select a template for your cover letter, then follow the 3 step process for sharing info about your experience and the target job with CoverBuild's AI
- Click “Generate My Cover Letter” and watch the tool write a unique cover letter that's personalized to your experience and your target job!
To make it even easier, you can select a cover letter template from the widget below to get started:
If you'd like to see the process in action, here's a video walking through all of the steps above:
Note: I do not recommend or advise that you simply copy and paste any AI-generated content and submit your application. You should always review, revise, and personalize the content yourself before applying.
2. Include Measurable Metrics And Outcomes
Too many job seekers only focus on the actions that they took and not the outcomes that resulted from those actions. As a hiring manager, it's impossible to differentiate between a dozen candidates who were all “Responsible for scheduling meetings”
If you want to win, your cover letter should speak to the specific outcomes that you drove in previous roles. That could be:
- The scheduling conflicts you helped reduce
- The budget you helped manage
- The increase in office efficiency you helped achieve
These outcomes will show hiring teams what you're capable of and make your value crystal clear!
3. Match Your Cover Letter And Resume Design
They're the exact same car, down to the year, make, and model. The only difference is the way the product was presented. Like I said, quality impacts perceived value.
One of the best ways to boost the quality of your cover letter is to make it look clean, professional, and have it match your resume. That's why the resume templates in our resume builder tool match the cover letter templates in our cover letter builder:
If you use both tools to create your cover letter and your resume, your entire application is going to be top notch.

What's The Best Structure For Assistant Professor Cover Letters?
After creating an impressive Assistant Professor resume , the next step is crafting a compelling cover letter to accompany your job applications. It's essential to remember that your cover letter should maintain a formal tone and follow a recommended structure. But what exactly does this structure entail, and what key elements should be included in a Assistant Professor cover letter? Let's explore the guidelines and components that will make your cover letter stand out.
Key Components For Assistant Professor Cover Letters:
- Your contact information, including the date of writing
- The recipient's details, such as the company's name and the name of the addressee
- A professional greeting or salutation, like "Dear Mr. Levi,"
- An attention-grabbing opening statement to captivate the reader's interest
- A concise paragraph explaining why you are an excellent fit for the role
- Another paragraph highlighting why the position aligns with your career goals and aspirations
- A closing statement that reinforces your enthusiasm and suitability for the role
- A complimentary closing, such as "Regards" or "Sincerely," followed by your name
- An optional postscript (P.S.) to add a brief, impactful note or mention any additional relevant information.
Cover Letter Header
A header in a cover letter should typically include the following information:
- Your Full Name: Begin with your first and last name, written in a clear and legible format.
- Contact Information: Include your phone number, email address, and optionally, your mailing address. Providing multiple methods of contact ensures that the hiring manager can reach you easily.
- Date: Add the date on which you are writing the cover letter. This helps establish the timeline of your application.
It's important to place the header at the top of the cover letter, aligning it to the left or center of the page. This ensures that the reader can quickly identify your contact details and know when the cover letter was written.
Cover Letter Greeting / Salutation
A greeting in a cover letter should contain the following elements:
- Personalized Salutation: Address the hiring manager or the specific recipient of the cover letter by their name.

The best way to start an Administrative Assistant cover letter is by grabbing the reader's attention immediately. Begin by addressing the hiring manager by name, if it's known. Then, introduce yourself and briefly mention the position you're applying for. You can also mention a notable achievement or experience that aligns with the job requirements. For example, "As an Administrative Assistant with over five years of experience in managing complex schedules and coordinating travel, I was excited to see your job posting for an Administrative Assistant." This approach shows that you're professional, experienced, and enthusiastic about the role.
Administrative Assistants should end a cover letter with a strong closing statement that reiterates their interest in the position and the value they can bring to the company. This could be something like, "I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique skills and experience to your team and am confident that I can contribute significantly to your operations." Following this, it's important to express gratitude for the reader's time and consideration, such as, "Thank you for considering my application.

An Administrative Assistant's cover letter should ideally be about one page in length. This is a standard length that allows you to succinctly present your skills, experiences, and qualifications without overwhelming the reader. It's important to remember that hiring managers often have to go through a large number of applications, so keeping your cover letter concise and to the point can increase the chances of it being read thoroughly. In terms of word count, aim for around 250 to 400 words. This should give you enough space to introduce yourself, explain why you're interested in the role and the company, and highlight your most relevant skills and experiences.
Writing a cover letter with no direct experience as an Administrative Assistant can seem challenging, but it's absolutely possible. Here's how you can approach it: 1. **Understand the role**: Research the role of an Administrative Assistant thoroughly. Understand the skills and qualities required for the job. This could include organizational skills, communication skills, proficiency in certain software, etc. 2. **Highlight transferable skills**: Even if you haven't worked as an Administrative Assistant before, you likely have skills from other jobs or experiences that are relevant. For example, if you've worked in customer service, you've likely developed strong communication and problem-solving skills. If you've worked in a fast-paced retail environment, you've likely honed your ability to multitask. Highlight these transferable skills in your cover letter. 3. **Show enthusiasm for the role**: Employers value candidates who are enthusiastic about the job. Express your interest in the role and the company, and explain why you're interested. This can help make up for a lack of direct experience. 4. **Provide examples**: Use specific examples to demonstrate your skills. For instance, if you're claiming to have strong organizational skills, provide an example of a time when you used these skills to achieve a positive outcome. 5. **Express willingness to learn**: If you don't have direct experience, showing a willingness to learn can be very appealing to employers. Make it clear that you're eager to learn and grow in the role. 6. **Keep it concise and professional**: Your cover letter should be no more than one page. Keep the tone professional, and proofread carefully to avoid any errors. 7. **Use the right format**: Start with a formal salutation, introduce yourself, explain why you're interested in the role and the company, highlight your relevant skills and experiences, and conclude with a strong closing statement. Remember, everyone starts somewhere. Even if you don't have direct experience, your unique combination of skills, experiences, and enthusiasm can make you a strong candidate for an Administrative Assistant role.

Our simple step-by-step guide below provides some more detailed advice on how you can craft a winning cover letter for yourself, that will ensure your CV gets opened.
How to write a Care Assistant cover letter
Here’s how you can write your own eye-catching cover letter, broken down into simple steps.
Write your cover letter in the body of an email/message
When you send a cover letter with a job application, you should always write your message into the body of your email – or the body of the messaging system if you are sending via a job website.
Why do this?
Simply because you want to get your message seen as soon as the recruiter opens your application.
If you attach the cover letter as a separate item, this means the recipient will have to open it before they can read it – slowing down the process and potentially causing frustration along the way.
So, write your cover note in the body of your email/message to ensure you make an instant connection with the reader.
Start with a friendly greeting
To build an instant connection with the recruiter reading your cover letter, start with a warm greeting.
It should be friendly but not casual – keeping it professional at all times.
- Hi, hope you’re well
- Hi [insert recruiter name]
- Hi [insert department/team name]
Avoid overly formal greetings like “Dear sir/madam ” unless applying to very traditional companies.
How to find the contact’s name?
Addressing the recruitment contact by name is an excellent way to start building a strong relationship. If it is not listed in the job advert, try these methods to find it.
- Check out the company website and look at their About page. If you see a hiring manager, HR person or internal recruiter, use their name. You could also try to figure out who would be your manager in the role and use their name.
- Head to LinkedIn , search for the company and scan through the list of employees. Most professionals are on LinkedIn these days, so this is a good bet.
Identify the role you are applying for
Once you’ve opened up the cover letter with a warm greeting to start building a relationship, it is time to identify which role you want to apply for.
Recruiters are often managing multiple vacancies, so you need to ensure you apply to the correct one.
Be very specific and use a reference number if you can find one.
- I am interested in applying for the position of Care Assistant with your company.
- I would like to apply for the role of Sales assistant (Ref: 406f57393)
- I would like to express my interest in the customer service vacancy within your retail department
- I saw your advert for a junior project manager on Reed and would like to apply for the role.

Highlight your suitability
The sole objective of your cover letter is to motivate recruiters into to opening your CV. And you achieve this by quickly explaining your suitability to the roles you are applying for.
Take a look at the job descriptions you are applying to, and make note of the most important skills and qualifications being asked for.
Then, when crafting your cover letter, make your suitability the central focus.
Explain why you are the best qualified candidate, and why you are so well suited to carry out the job.
This will give recruiters all the encouragement they need to open your CV and consider you for the job.
Keep it short and sharp
A good cover letter is short and sharp, getting to the point quickly with just enough information to grab the attention of recruiters.
Ideally your cover letter should be around 4-8 sentences long – anything longer will risk losing the attention of time-strapped recruiters and hiring managers .
Essentially you need to include just enough information to persuade the reader to open up your CV, where the in-depth details will sit.
Sign off professionally
To round of your CV, you should sign off with a professional signature.
This will give your cover letter a slick appearance and also give the recruiter all of the necessary contact information they need to get in touch with you.
The information to add should include:
- A friendly sign off – e.g. “Kindest regards”
- Your full name
- Phone number (one you can answer quickly)
- Email address
- Profession title
- Professional social network – e.g. LinkedIn
Here is an example signature;
Warm regards,
Jill North IT Project Manager 078837437373 [email protected] LinkedIn
Quick tip: To save yourself from having to write your signature every time you send a job application, you can save it within your email drafts, or on a separate documents that you could copy in.
What to include in your Care Assistant cover letter
So, what type of information should you write about in your Care Assistant cover letter?
The specifics will obviously depend on your profession and the jobs you are applying to, but these are the key areas you should be covering.
- Your industry experience – Tell recruiters the types of companies you have been working for and the roles you have held in the past.
- Your qualifications – Highlight your most important relevant qualifications to show employers you are qualified to do the roles you are applying for.
- The impact you have made – Demonstrate the positive impact you have made for employers in previous jobs. Have you saved money? Improved processes? Made customers happy?
- Your reasons for moving – Employers will want to know why you are leaving your current/previous role, so provide them with a brief explanation here.
- Your availability – When will you be able to start a new job ? Check your current contract to find out your notice period if you are in a position already.
