What is a non-speculative cover letter?

A non-speculative cover letter is a cover letter written for a specific job opportunity.

Non-speculative cover letters are also referred to as job application letters.

When writing a cover letter for a specific position, there are a few things you should remember to do:

• Specify the job you’re applying for and where you found the opportunity 
• Illustrate how you’re qualified to do the job (e.g., by highlighting relevant experience, noteworthy achievements, technical skills, etc.)
• Explain why you’d be a good fit for the specific company
• Encourage the employer to contact you for an interview
