SUFB 973: How To Write A Proper Cover Letter For Marine Conservation Jobs

Published: March 6, 2020, 5 a.m.

The times of a single-page cover letter are over. In Marine Conservation, your cover letter needs to include specific information that will help the person reviewing your application to decide whether you warrant a closer look (i.e. an interview). 

I give you tips on how to write a cover letter that will get you closer to getting the interview. It worked for me. Once I started using this strategy, I was able to get more interviews on applications that I submitted. 

Do you use the same strategy when writing your cover letter? Share your thoughts in the Marine Science And Conservation Careers Facebook Group: http://www.speakupforblue.com/career.
