Here’s what the last paragraph of a cover letter should include:
- A summary of how your qualifications and experience will benefit the company
- A request for an interview to encourage the hiring manager to reach out to you
- Your email address and phone number (even if you’ve listed them at the top of your cover letter)
- A “thank you” to the hiring manager
Below is an example of the last paragraph of a cover letter:
I’m confident that my proven ability to lead sales teams and increase profit in my current and past roles will benefit your company. Please reach me at (123) 456-7890 or first.last@email.com to schedule an interview. Thank you for taking the time to review my cover letter, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
