# Write Cover Letters That Hiring Managers Actually Read
Most cover letters start the same way: "I am writing to express my interest in the [Job Title] position at [Company]. With X years of experience in [field], I believe I would be a strong addition to your team."
Hiring managers have read this sentence ten thousand times. Their eyes glaze over. They move to the next application.
The cover letters that work do something different: they prove, in specific terms, that you have already done the work this job requires. Not that you are "passionate" or "excited" or "a team player" — that you have solved the exact problems this role will face.
