Targeting Covering Letters for Graduate Jobs

When creating a targeted covering letter you should try to use relevant, focused language rather than the usual skill descriptions like 'teamwork', 'outgoing' or 'hardworking'. Employers can see straight through a 'general' cover letter or an adapted version from one used with another job. Also make sure you always stay relevant to the role by answering to the skill aspects described in the job description.
