How to Write a Cover Letter

Perhaps the most challenging part of the job application process is writing an effective cover letter. And yes, you should send one. Even if only one in two cover letters gets read, that’s still a 50% chance that including one could help you. Before you start writing, find out more about the company and the specific job you want. Next, catch the attention of the hiring manager or recruiter with a strong opening line. If you have a personal connection with the company or someone who works there, mention it in the first sentence or two, and try to address your letter to someone directly. Hiring managers are looking for people who can help them solve problems, so show that you know what the company does and some of the challenges it faces. Then explain how your experience has equipped you to meet those needs. If the online application doesn’t allow you to submit a cover letter, use the format you’re given to demonstrate your ability to do the job and your enthusiasm for the role.

No one likes job hunting. Scouring through online job listings, spiffing up your résumé, prepping for grueling interviews — none of it is fun. For many, the most challenging part of the process is writing an effective cover letter. There’s so much conflicting advice out there, it’s hard to know where to start. Do you even need one, especially if you’re applying through an online system?

"The Wagner forces essentially were Russia's most effective combat forces on the battlefield … but for all intents and purposes, their combat effectiveness has been diminished and they are no longer a significant factor when it comes to the conflict inside Ukraine," he said. "Clearly we know that the Wagner group has for a while been conducting operations with many tentacles, some military in nature, some criminal in nature, in Africa and places like Burkina Faso and Mali, and I don't think anybody's going to discount the potential for danger when it comes to that group or the remnants of that group."

What does the removal of Prigozhin and Surovikin mean for the war in Ukraine?
Lutsevych argues that pro-Wagner sentiment, and populist criticisms of the war in Ukraine, are now likely to go underground. “Putin will have to keep watching his back for traitors within the military, and that distracts from the war,” she said.
