* Ensure consistency in dates, titles, and key achievements between your cover letter and resume.

* Look for recent news, projects, or values that resonate with you.
* Find the hiring manager's name if possible.
* Mention specific company projects, values, or recent news in your "Company Fit" paragraph.
* For every claim, ask: "Can I add a number to this?" (e.g., "managed a budget of $X," "increased sales by Y%," "reduced errors by Z%").
* Ensure your tone is confident, professional, and enthusiastic.
* Read it aloud to catch awkward phrasing.
* Check for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors multiple times.
