The post script is a great hack to draw the hiring manager's attention one last time!
You should use the P.S. to tell something impressive about your career.
The first paragraph will determine if the hiring manager will read on.
Communicate your passion for your work, and your excitement about the job and company.
e.g.: Given my x years of experience at a similar position, I would appreciate your consideration for this position.
e.g.: X let me know about the open position and suggested to contact you as they feel I would be a good fit for the position.
You should mention the position you are applying for, as the hiring manager can often look for candidates for several job openings.
E.g.: I am writing to express my strong interest in the x position open at x company.
You should address a cover letter directly to the hiring manager.
The hiring manager will see your greeting first so that makes it one of the most important parts of your cover letter. Also, people are most likely to react to the sight of their own names.
The header of every professional cover letter should include your contact information, employer's contact information.
LinkedIn or Twitter only.
Optionally you can add
To find out the hiring manager's name, do some research on the company.
You may want to create an email account solely to career search. It should include your first and last name only.
