1 Research the company

Before you start writing, do some research on the company's website, social media, blog, and reviews. Look for clues about their tone, values, goals, and challenges. What words or phrases do they use to describe themselves, their customers, and their impact? How do they communicate with their audience and stakeholders? What are their core beliefs and principles? Use this information to tailor your cover letter to the company's culture and values, and to demonstrate your enthusiasm and interest in working for them.

La lettre de motivation même si elle semble être désuète conserve encore sa force dans certains contextes notamment les candidatures spontanées. La lettre de motivation doit refléter le fait que la candidature n'est pas faite par hasard sans réelle conviction. La connaissance de l'entreprise, de ses valeurs, de son marché, ses clients, son secteur doivent transpirer dans la lettre de motivation et le candidat doit pouvoir mettre tout cela en perspective avec son propre parcours, ses expériences, ses valeurs, ses objectifs, sa maitrise de la fonction du poste et son souhait de rejoindre l'entreprise. Ecrivez avec vos tripes et votre c?ur. Pas de copier coller. Faites ressentir au lecteur que vous êtes THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

Tailoring the cover letter to a company's culture and values starts with thorough research. Explore their website, social media, blog, and reviews to grasp their tone, values, and goals. Incorporate the words and phrases you find to align with their communication style. Express enthusiasm for working with them, pointing out specific aspects of their culture or values that resonate. This approach not only aligns you with their principles but also emphasizes your commitment to contributing meaningfully to their mission.

Before investing your time in this task, it's advisable to first assess if the company possesses distinct and original values, or it uses common, 'copy and paste' values. Should the company lack uniquely crafted values, or if their values appear to be generic and not bespoke, there's a higher probability they won't prioritize a match between your cover letter's content and their 'so called values'.

Il parait que la lettre de motivation est "has been" pourtant en TPE et PME, elle peut être votre précieux allié. Dans ce type d'organisation, votre lettre sera probablement re?ue par une personne fortement impliquée dans les activités et le fait d'avoir pris le temps de comprendre et analyser leurs choix, produits, concurrence, projets sera déjà un atout de démarcation claire avec vos concurrents. Evitez les formules toutes faites, si vous n'avez pas trouvé d'informations clés, misez directement sur ce que vous proposez, plut?t que de commettre un impair... dès le premier contact !

2 Use the right format and tone

Your cover letter should follow a clear and professional format, with a salutation, introduction, body, and closing. However, you can also adjust the tone and style of your writing to match the company's culture and values. For example, if the company is formal and conservative, use a formal and respectful tone, and avoid slang, humor, or exaggeration. If the company is casual and creative, use a friendly and conversational tone, and add some flair, humor, or storytelling. The key is to be authentic and consistent with your voice and the company's voice.

A cover letter benefits from a structured and professional format, encompassing a salutation, introduction, body, and closing. The tone and style can be adapted to harmonize with the company's culture and values. In formal and conservative environments, a respectful and formal tone is appropriate, steering clear of slang, humor, or exaggeration. In more casual and creative settings, a conversational tone is fitting, allowing for flair, humor, or storytelling. Emphasis lies in authenticity, ensuring alignment between your voice and the company's, maintained consistently throughout the application.

3 Highlight your relevant skills and achievements

Your cover letter should showcase your skills and achievements that are relevant to the role and the company. However, instead of simply listing them, you should explain how they align with the company's culture and values, and how they can benefit the company. For example, if the company values innovation and collaboration, you can mention a project where you used your creativity and teamwork skills to solve a problem or create a new product. If the company values social responsibility and diversity, you can mention an initiative where you contributed to a cause or supported a diverse group of people. Use specific examples and metrics to back up your claims and show your impact.

Consider this an opportunity to expand upon your submitted resume and highlight something incredible you've done. I like to pick one of my achievements, then compare it to the company's culture and values. Once I've found a strong connection, this becomes a central paragraph to highlight in more detail something that makes me stand out as an exceptional candidate.

No need to duplicate information from your resume; instead, highlight three key reasons you are an ideal fit for the role in your cover letter.

4 Show your personality and passion

Your cover letter should also reveal your personality and passion for the role and the company. Don't be afraid to express your emotions, opinions, and values, as long as they are relevant and appropriate. For example, you can share a personal story or anecdote that illustrates why you are interested in the company or the industry. You can also share your vision or goals that align with the company's culture and values. You can also use positive and enthusiastic language to convey your excitement and motivation. The goal is to show the employer that you are not just a qualified candidate, but also a compatible and passionate one.

5 Proofread and edit your cover letter

Finally, before you send your cover letter, make sure to proofread and edit it for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and clarity. You can also ask someone else to review it for feedback and suggestions. You want to make sure that your cover letter is error-free, concise, and coherent, and that it reflects the company's culture and values. You can also use tools like Grammarly or Hemingway to check your writing and improve it. A well-written cover letter can make a great impression and increase your chances of getting an interview and a job offer.
