Do the first three — not the fourth.

- Sort out attributes that define you as a professional: pick 2–3 strengths (e.g., “detail‑oriented project manager,” “collaborative communicator”) and weave them into the opening and body of the letter.
- Identify the skills you’ve developed: highlight the most relevant hard and soft skills with concrete examples or results (briefly quantify when possible).
- Clarify your short‑term professional goals: state how the role fits your next steps and how you plan to contribute to the employer.

Don’t “list everyone who owes you a favor.” That’s unprofessional and irrelevant in a cover letter. If you have contacts at the company who referred you, briefly mention the referral by name (and permission), or note that references are available on request.
