Clinical Research Manager Cover Letter Sample

Updated on: October 17, 2016

Cover letters are perfect places to emphasize the high-interest factors that whet a hiring manager’s appetite in knowing you. Connecting the dots for hiring managers is important so that they can understand where you stand. But it is important not to merely repeat your resume in a cover letter. Cover letters are not a repetition of resumes. They don’t emulate them – they complement them.

An impeccably written resume provides proof of your communication skills which is of the utmost importance to an employer. If you can communicate well, it stands to reason that you can handle at least one part of what the employer wants you to do. When you begin your resume, it should look like it was written by a professional. When you end it, you need to maintain your image as a “person of action” by encouraging the hiring manager to contact you.

Yes, your resume will have contact information in it but you still need to put it in your cover letter as well, to save the hiring manager from the going through the resume and looking for your contact information. Make things easy for him and things will become easier for you!

Let’s see what a cover letter should be made of:
