Now that I’ve completed my cover letter, I feel better about my professional writing skills as a whole. Understanding the basic requirements of a cover letter, as well as how to embellish language, is incredibly helpful. For example, my cover letter used to state that I have “over four years of writing experience,” and now it says “nearly half a decade…” I’ve also learned that it’s ok to brag about yourself from time to time as long as what you’re saying is true)! In my opinion, the process went extremely well. My peer’s feedback was very helpful, and getting to read and edit other cover letters taught me more about what I want to include and exclude from my own.
