Example of a Project Manager Cover Letter

Consider This: If a job overseeing and managing a company project interests you, be sure to include, when writing your cover letter, two essentials: 1) your backgound and experience managing one or more projects and 2) your interest and enthusiasm for this type of work—from A to Z.

This is a position that succeeds when the employee knows what it takes to determine the details necessary to manage a business project through from start to finish. Even job seekers who are less experienced can attain their goal of landing a job interview for such a position if they show a desire to behave professionally when executing their tasks.

Hiring Manager
Big Town Pack 'n' Ship Service

Big Town, USA 99999

Dear Ms. Burke:

I saw your post on JobSearchJimmy.com this week while looking for an opening as a project manager. I was particularly pleased to see your listing since I've had experience working in a shipping environment. In fact, I was the assistant manager of a small UPS store in my community for three years.

I have since moved to Big Town, however, and hope to find employment in a similar profession closer to home. I have many of the skills required to manage a project from start to finish—organization, leadership, promptness, and reliability.

If you're interested in meeting me in person so I can talk in more detail about what I've accomplished in my previous employment and how much I enjoyed the role in management, please phone me at 777-777-7777. I would also welcome this opportunity to hear from you about what you are looking for in the person you hire.

I'm grateful for the chance to introduce myself and my skills in this letter. Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Jean Job Searcher

Don't forget: Your own project manager cover letter should be personal and more detailed than the sample provided here, but you can use this one to give you an idea of how to put yours together so you can land an interview for the very job you want.
