Begin your letter by addressing the hiring manager by name if you have that information.
Your first paragraph is your opportunity to introduce yourself and introduce the value you
can bring to the company. In this paragraph, be sure to state clearly:

• Who you are


• What position you’re applying for
• What company you’re applying to

• Why you’re a great fit for this specific role

a mutual connection you have, express your passion for data, and explain why you’re
interested in a career change.

For example, strong communication skills are often required for data analysts, who are
tasked with presenting their findings to management and stakeholders. If you’ve given
presentations as part of a university class or in a previous role, call out this experience. How
many people attended? What were the results of the presentation? Final tip: Proofread your work

Back up each accomplishment with data or metrics, when possible. Data analytics requires attention to detail, a skill you’ll want to
demonstrate in your cover letter. It’s also a good idea to verify
whether your cover letter should be sent as an attachment,
pasted into the body of an email, or uploaded to a website. Some
companies have specific requirements for subject line formatting
and attachment naming conventions—check before you send.
