Health care administration is a competitive field—a well-crafted cover letter makes a compelling argument for why you are the best candidate for the position.

To complete Part A, follow these steps:
Review your chosen job descriiption. Take note of required skills, qualifications, and responsibilities. Also familiarize yourself with the company mission, purpose, or goal. This information can give you valuable insight into company culture—is the company a Fortune 500 corporation that places emphasis on formal communication? Or are you applying for a position at a family health center with a diverse hiring team? These details should influence how you craft and optimize your cover letter.
Brainstorm and write down any skills or qualifications you possess that align with the job descriiption. As was the case with your resume, you may find some skills or qualifications listed with similar terms. Whenever possible, use the same term as is listed in the job descriiption.
Research the company, organization, or hiring manager. Depending on the size of the company or industry, this can range from easy to somewhat difficult. For tips on how to research organizational culture and operations, review the article The Complete Guide to Researching a Company Links to an external site (Indeed. (2020, February 14). The complete guide to researching a company. Links to an external site.. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/the-complete-guide-to-researching-a-company.
As you conduct your research, make notes about the organization’s business model, intended customers or services provided, current news or announcements, and any staff or executives you can research or connect with on LinkedIn.
Choose three to four skills or qualifications to emphasize in your cover letter. Now that you have done some research, you should have a clear idea of which skills will most captivate a hiring manager at your target company or organization.
Be sure to include those skills as selling points in your letter.
Craft your cover letter. Review the Sample Cover Letter for HCA460 Download Sample Cover Letter for HCA460document for instructions on proper formatting.
Each time you mention a skill, qualification, or competency, you should provide a specific example of how you developed, refined, or used that specific skill, qualification, or competency.
Part B: Resume
After you have identified a specific job descriiption and crafted your cover letter, you will need to optimize your resume for applying to that position.
To complete Part B, follow these steps:
Revise your resume to better align with the job descriiption. This could include improving bullet points to better reflect the job requirements, or rephrasing skills and qualifications to better reflect those listed in the job descriiption (For instance: You might change the word ‘supervised’ to ‘managed’ to better address that requested qualification). Be honest as you optimize your resume but be certain to use the language in the job descriiption wherever possible.
