A cover letter tells the employer about who you are and what motivated you to apply for the job. Generally speaking, in Taiwan, most foreign-owned companies would tend to require applicants to include a cover letter.
A cover letter usually does not exceed one page in length. It should include:
-
Your name and contact information.
-
The contact person's name and, if possible, their title.
-
A brief introduction about you, and what motivated you to apply for the position.
-
A summary of your skills and experiences that tells the employer you’re the right person for the job. If there’s anything you’d like to add about your qualifications, here is where to do it.
-
Close the letter with a thank you.
