Description

Bright Green Talent is an environmentally-focused recruiting and job placement firm based out of London and San Francisco.

We've compiled these tips from years of placing people into jobs, and from reading hundreds of cover letters each week. We know what will make you stand out as a stellar candidate, and what immediately screams "boring." After reading this guide, you'll be able to compose a cover letter that will grab the attention of the hiring manager.

This document reviews a list of "do's and don'ts" of writing a cover letter, including tips on how to address the cover letter, what to include and what you should definitely leave out, and how to actually deliver that cover letter to the hiring manager.

The document also includes two examples of cover letters -- one bad, and one "bright green." You'll be able to see first hand why one of these documents would get passed over and why the other will get the jobseeker's foot in the door.
