What do I say in a cover letter?
I'm a recent college graduate, and I'm interested in pursuing a career in public policy, public service, law, communications, nonprofit work, or journalism. Honestly, at this point, I'll apply to other things outside that realm too, but those are my main broader interests. I am STUMPED when it comes to cover letters. I feel like what I've been trying to do just isn't working, and I don't want to an AI cover letter cause I feel like it's so obvious and kinda shitty lowkey. I need help 😭.
My experience for reference: B.S in economics, sociology; minor in creative writing; Communications Intern at the NDRC (redistricting committee); Communications Assistant at a center for ethnic studies research, Newsroom Production Assistant for a local NPR station; Staff Writer for my college's student newspaper; Communications and Marketing Intern at a nonprofit foundation.
I want to keep the letters to 3 paragraphs max preferably, with a short 4th paragraph with the usual "Thank you for considering..."
Any help or guidance would be fantastic!
