Write a US cover letter that adds context the resume cannot
A cover letter for a US application should not re-list the resume. Use it to explain why this role makes sense, which proof points matter most, and how your background connects to the employer's current need.
Proof
Choose one or two examples that support the most important job requirement.
Motivation
Be specific about the team, product, mission, customer group, or business problem only when you can explain it honestly.
Close
End with confidence and next-step readiness, not a generic plea for consideration.
US cover-letter checklist
1
Keep the letter focused enough that a busy reader can understand the argument quickly.
2
Avoid repeating every resume bullet.
3
Use the employer's language only where it accurately describes your work.
4
Match tone to the role: polished, direct, and specific.
5
Check that the letter and resume tell the same story without sounding copied from each other.
