just for me! I earned my certification in Google Analytics earlier this year after using it
successfully for countless Fortune 500 companies over the past five years.”
 “As a Software Developer with 10 years of experience, I am excited to submit my application

world of software is always changing. I thrive in an environment that is constantly evolving

Examples of How to End a Cover Letter

1) “I am excited to learn more about this position and demonstrate why I am a great fit
for your company.”

2) “I would love the opportunity to meet with you and share how I plan to hit the ground
running.”

3) “I believe I am the best person for this position and would love to meet you and share
what I can bring to your company.”

Hiring managers are always looking for what you, the applicant, can do for their company
and not what they can do for you. Showing that you have qualities that will drive their
business forward will please the hiring manager and they will want to bring you in to discuss
further.

4) “I will call you next Monday to discuss further and set up an interview.”

This is a bold tactic that doesn’t always work. You can certainly use this statement but
always proceed with caution. Your confidence may turn some hiring managers off, while it
may impress others. So always be aware of the organization and person you are sending
this to ensure you won’t offend the hiring manager.
