The structure of a cover letter generally consists of three parts: the beginning, the subject and the end.
1? Here we go. Including address and introduction. Salutations are usually surnames plus titles or official titles. Most of them have both professional titles and official titles, which are generally called by superiors. For example, the recruiter is not only a doctor, but also an associate professor and director of the personnel department. At this time, it may be better to call him a doctor. Because there are few doctors in the director of personnel department, most of them are called directors. Calling doctors is both fresh and shows that you know him well. Inadvertently, he was more impressed with you.
The introduction has two functions. One is to attract the recruiter to finish reading your materials, and the other is to guide the other person to enter your prominent topic naturally, so don't feel abrupt, so you should try to write the beginning well. There are various forms at first. Here are some for your reference.
