3. Remind the hiring manager of your most important skills
Finish your closing statement by featuring your strongest skills. Sometimes you might have to remind them about what youve learned. You need to explain how you can apply these skills to the job and how it can leave a positive impact on the rest of the team. Review these closing statements:
“I believe my writing and research skills can lead to my success in the open public relations coordinator role. I wrote press releases and feature stories on product launches during my internship with one of the top Fortune 500 companies in the country. These pieces got an estimated audience reach of 500,000 viewers in one month. Ive had to work under tight deadlines to gather data online and from coworkers to improve the quality of each piece. I think I can produce these results consistently for this organization.”
“My time management and problem-solving skills qualify me for the human resources assistant position. When I interned for an entertainment company, I took charge of creating presentations for executives along with scheduling meetings with top talent in the music industry. I enhanced the departments completion of tasks by 15% during my time there, and I think I can elevate my performance at this company.”
