How to Write a Cover Letter for Game Jobs: The Ultimate Guide

How to Write a Cover Letter for Game Jobs: The Ultimate Guide

A great resume might be the key to landing your dream job, but it won’t make a difference if nobody reads it. That’s where your cover letter comes in. A great cover letter helps you stand out from the crowd. And it makes that recruiter or hiring manager eager to learn more about you — rather than passing you over.

In short, a great cover letter can be your key to getting noticed, scoring an interview, and ultimately landing your dream job.

So let’s dive in and learn exactly how to craft a strong cover letter, step by step. We’ll offer specific advice, look at cover letter examples and samples, and provide a cover letter template you can copy-paste to get started writing your own.

Know your audience

The very first step — before you even start writing! — is to research the company you’re applying to. What games have they made? What’s their company culture like? What sets them apart from other game developers?

It might sound boring, but it’s an important step, because you’ll use this info to tailor your cover letter. You’ll show the company you’re a good fit by mentioning their games, and explaining why you love them.

So fire up your laptop, and start taking notes! Here are some ways to get started:

Visit the company’s website. Start by exploring the company’s official website to learn about their products, services, and mission statement. Especially check out their “About Us” and “ Careers ” pages, to get a feel for their culture, values, and work environment.

Read reviews and news articles. Look for reviews on websites like Glassdoor to see what current and former employees are saying about the company. Search for news articles and press releases, to get up to speed on their recent releases, partnerships, or controversies.

Dive into their social media . Follow the company’s social media accounts, for updates on their latest news. This can give you insight into their communication style, and help you understand their brand personality.

Study their games. Since you’re applying to a game company, you’d better make sure you’re familiar with their games. If you don’t have time to actually play them, you can watch gameplay videos and read reviews. Try to understand their game mechanics, art style, and audience. It will help you mention some specifics about their games in your cover letter.

Visit them at industry events. If you can, try to attend some game industry events, conferences , or webinars where the company will have a booth on the show floor or expo. You’ll learn more about their games, and — if you’re lucky — maybe even network with some of their team members.

Research their competitors. If you can get a sense for the company’s competitors, it can give you valuable context for your cover letter. Because when you know what sets the company apart, you’ll be able to emphasize why you’re specifically interested in working with them — instead of the competition.

Network with their employees . If possible, use LinkedIn to connect with employees who work at the company. If you have any mutual friends who can connect you (in person on online), that’s even better. Ask them about their experiences, and get their perspective on the company’s culture and values. You might even get some helpful “insider” interview tips.

Researching ever company you apply for can seem like a lot of work — and it is. But when you gather the info and use it to really customize what you write, your cover letter will be way more eye-catching. As a hiring manager myself, I can say for sure that the extra effort, and genuine interest, will get you noticed.

Tell a personal story

Why write a dry, boring cover letter? The best ones are personal, engaging, and (dare I say it?) even fun to read.

One way to do that, is to start with an interesting story about how you got into gaming, or maybe a project you worked on. Something that grabs the reader’s attention, and shows them why you’re passionate about making games.

But writing a good story (while also keeping it short!) can be challenging, especially if you don’t have any ideas to start with. So here are a few examples to give you the general idea. These examples are fake, but they’re realistic enough to make the the point. Read them over, then take a shot at writing one based on your own personal experiences.

Example 1: Game Designer

“Growing up, I was always captivated by the magical worlds of video games, and I knew early on that I wanted to be a part of creating those experiences. When I first played “Fiction Quest,” your studio’s groundbreaking RPG, I was instantly hooked. The intricate storylines, beautifully designed characters, and immersive gameplay truly resonated with me. As a result, I spent countless hours learning about game design and even created my own RPG in high school. That project taught me the importance of teamwork and communication, as I collaborated with friends to develop the game’s story, characters, and mechanics. Joining your team as a game designer would be the perfect opportunity to bring my passion and experience to life, while contributing to the continued success of your amazing franchises.”

Example 2: Game Programmer

“My journey into game development began when I discovered the joys of modding my favorite games. I was fascinated by the process of altering game mechanics, tweaking levels, and adding new content. This curiosity led me to join an online community, where I worked with other modders on a widely popular overhaul mod for “Blazing Blaster Battles.” During that project, I honed my programming skills and gained valuable experience in collaborative development. As a game developer at your studio, I’m eager to apply the knowledge I’ve gained from my modding experiences, and contribute to creating innovative and engaging games that captivate players worldwide.”

Example 3: Game Tester

“As a lifelong gamer and natural problem solver, I’ve always had a keen eye for spotting bugs and inconsistencies in the games I play. While others may find it frustrating, I see it as an opportunity to improve and enhance the game experience. In college, I joined a game testing club where we would volunteer our time to test indie games, providing developers with detailed feedback and bug reports. One memorable experience was when our testing efforts helped a small dev team fix a critical game-breaking bug just days before their launch. This experience solidified my passion for game testing, and reinforced the importance of our role in the industry. I am excited to bring this same dedication and attention to detail to your company as a game tester, ensuring your releases are polished and ready to delight players everywhere.”

Highlight your skills

Next, write a paragraph about your skills and how they match the list of “Requirements” in the job posting. Be specific about your experience, and use examples to back up your claims. And remember to keep it relevant to the role you’re applying for.

What if your experience doesn’t perfectly line up with the job description? Well, that’s actually pretty common — especially for people just starting their careers . What you can do instead, is focus on your transferable skills and relevant accomplishments . The trick is to explain how your existing skills could be applied to the new job.

Mapping the skills in the job description to your personal skills can take some thought. But here are some steps to follow:

Identify your transferable skills. Read the job description carefully, and make a list of the “Required” skills and qualifications. Next, think about your own experiences, and make a list of any transferable skills that you’ve developed. Common examples are things like communication, project management, problem-solving, and teamwork. Even if your experience is from a different industry, emphasize how those skills can be applied to the new job you’re applying for.

Draw connections. In your cover letter, draw connections between the skills you listed from the job description, and the transferrable skills you listed from your own experiences. Explain how your background has prepared you for the new role, even if it’s not a direct match. For example, if you’ve worked in bookkeeping for a small business, you can explain how your attention to detail and problem-solving ability are valuable skills for a game tester job.

Mention relevant accomplishments. Think about anything else you’ve accomplished that might show your ability to excel in the new job. It could be a successful project you completed on time, a challenging problem you solved, or an award you received. When you give concrete evidence of your capabilities that align with the job requirements, it makes a stronger case for why you’re a good fit.

Show enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Employers look for candidates who are eager to learn, and can adapt to new challenges. In your cover letter, express your enthusiasm for the role and the company. Then mention any steps you’ve taken to build your skills — things like attending workshops, taking online courses, or participating in game jams.

Show your personality

The game industry is all about creativity, collaboration, and fun! So let your personality shine through in your cover letter.

Use a friendly tone. Be natural. Be genuine. The person reading your letter wants to know you’re someone they’d enjoy working with.

Here are some writing tips for letting your true self shine through:

Be authentic. Write in a genuine and sincere tone that reflects who you are. Don’t try to sound like someone you’re not, or use overly-formal words just to impress the reader. Just be yourself — let your passion for game development come through.

Use a little humor. Adding a touch of humor can make your cover letter more fun. Just be sure to keep it professional — obviously, this is a time to avoid jokes that someone else might find offensive or inappropriate.

Be enthusiastic. You’re excited about the idea of working at this game company, right? Let that excitement come through in your cover letter. Use positive, energetic language. Show that you’re genuinely interested in the opportunity, and eager to contribute to the team.

Show your interests outside of work. This is optional, but if you want, you can mention personal hobbies that might be relevant or show your unique personality. For example, if you’re a volunteer mod for a gaming chat group, write about how your passion for inclusive communities has shaped your career aspirations.

Use a conversational tone. Write like you’re talking directly to the hiring manager, with a friendly and approachable tone.

Keep it short and sweet

A cover letter shouldn’t be a novel. Stick to one page, and try to make every word count. Be concise and clear, and avoid rambling. Remember the rule: less is more.

I don’t know why, but sometimes when people write cover letters, we tend to write in a dry, business-like manner. So, after you finish the first draft of your cover letter, take a look at this list of common “overly formal” phrases in the “Don’t” column, and change them to the simpler, more friendly phrases in the “Do” column.

Proofread, proofread, proofread

If your cover letter is full of typos and grammar mistakes, it really makes a bad impression. So read it out loud to catch any errors, then ask a friend or family member to check it for you. It’s always better to have another set of eyes on it.

Besides using your editing software’s built-in grammar and spell-checkers, you can take it to the next level using one of these great online tools to check your work:

Grammarly . This is a widely-used writing assistant. Sure, it checks for grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors. But it can also suggest improvements to your sentence structure, clarity, and tone. You can get it as a browser extension, desktop app, and mobile keyboard, so it’s pretty easy to access and use.

Hemingway Editor . This online tool analyzes your writing for readability — then it highlights complex sentences and suggests simpler alternatives. It also identifies passive voice and adverbs, which helps you create a more concise and clear cover letter.

ProWritingAid . This one uses AI to offer suggestions to improve your grammar, writing style, and overall readability. It also integrates with popular writing platforms like Google Docs and Microsoft Word.

LanguageTool. Its name might be boring, but LanguageTool is great. It’s an open-source grammar, style, and spell checker that supports multiple languages. You can use it as a browser extension, desktop app, or online editor.

If all this proof-reading and grammar-checking seems like overkill, let me assure you — it’s worth it. Typos in your cover letter give the impression that you don’t have good attention to detail, or that you simply don’t care.

You’re already putting so much work into writing your cover letter, why not make sure it’s the best it can be?

End with a “call to action”

For the very last paragraph, wrap up your cover letter by thanking the reader for their time, and inviting them to get in touch. Let them know you’re excited to discuss how you can contribute to their team.

This section can be short and sweet, because you want it to be as direct as possible. Here are a few examples of strong “call to action” paragraphs that prompt the hiring manager to take the next step:

  • “I’m eager to discuss how my skills and passion for game design can drive success for your upcoming projects. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule a conversation.”
  • “I would love the opportunity to explore how my background in game development aligns with your team’s needs. I’m available for an interview anytime, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.”
  • “I’m excited about the possibility of joining your team as a game tester, and I’m confident in my ability to contribute to your team’s success. I look forward to discussing my qualifications with you in more detail.”
  • “I believe my unique blend of creativity and technical skillls would make me a valuable asset to your team. I’d be thrilled to discuss how I can contribute to your upcoming projects during an interview.”
  • “I’m confident that my passion for the game industry, plus my experience in quality assurance, will make me a strong candidate for this role. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help your team achieve its goals.”

The idea is to end your cover letter with a clear call to action, encouraging the hiring manager to take the next step — calling you in for an interview.

Cover Letter Template for Game Jobs

There are a thousand ways to write a cover letter. But sometimes, the hardest part is just getting started. So here’s a template cover letter you can start with — just paste it into your writing software, and start fleshing it out with your own history and personality.

Dear [Recipient’s Name],

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the [job title] position at [company name]. As an avid gamer and experienced professional in the [relevant industry], I am confident that my skills and passion make me an ideal fit for your team. I have always admired [company name]’s innovative approach to game development and am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your upcoming projects.

In my current role as a [your current job title] at [your current company], I have gained valuable experience in [mention a key skill or responsibility related to the job]. One notable accomplishment was [describe a relevant success story, highlighting the positive impact on the project or company]. This experience has honed my ability to [mention another skill or responsibility], which I believe aligns well with the requirements of the [job title] role at [company name].

What sets me apart from other candidates is my [unique quality or skill]. For example, [provide a brief anecdote or example demonstrating this quality or skill in action]. I am confident that this background would allow me to bring a fresh perspective and creative approach to your projects.

I am eager to discuss how my experience and passion for the video game industry can contribute to the success of [company name]. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address] to schedule a conversation. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further.

[Your Name]

Do I need to write a different cover letter for each company I apply for?

The short answer is, yes. Sure, it might be tempting to create a generic cover letter and send it to multiple companies — and many people do just that. But taking the time to write a unique cover letter for each application is crucial. Here’s why:

Shows genuine interest. Customizing your cover letter shows that you’ve done your research on the company, and you’re genuinely interested in the role. Hiring managers can easily spot a generic cover letter, and it gives the impression that you’re not truly invested in getting a job at this specific company.

Highlights relevant skills. Each job posting will have slightly different requirements, sometimes even at the same company. So writing a unique cover letter lets you emphasize your skills and experiences that are most relevant to the exact job you’re applying for.

Makes a stronger connection. A personalized cover letter helps you build a connection with the hiring manager. When you address them directly, discuss shared values, and talk about how your background fits the company culture, it makes you more memorable.

Is a cover letter required for a game job application?

Not every game job application will explicitly require a cover letter. Even so, it’s always a good idea to include one with your application. Besides all the reasons discussed above, a cover letter can include important information that’s nearly impossible to fit into your game resume .

Here are a few things that your cover letter can show, but your resume can’t:

Showcase your personality . A cover letter lets you inject your personality and passion for the game industry into your job application. This helps hiring managers get a better sense of who you are, and how you might fit into their team’s culture.

Fill in the gaps. Do you have any employment gaps, career changes, or other unique circumstances that might not be obvious from your resume? A cover letter gives you the opportunity to add context and explain your situation.

Be proactive. Even if a cover letter isn’t required, including one shows that you’re proactive and willing to go the extra mile. That can make a positive impression on hiring managers, which increases your chances of landing an interview.

That about covers it

Whew! You made it through. By now, I hope you have a solid understanding of why you need a cover letter, and the exact steps to writing one that’s super effective. And you even have a bunch of examples to get you started, plus a cover letter template to kick it all off.

Now it’s time to start researching those game companies you’re applying to, and then start writing a cover letter of your own. Follow the steps above, and you can’t go wrong. If you need any help, let me know in the comments below.

Still looking for a job? These 100+ resources will tell you everything you need to get hired fast.

Game Programmer Cover Letter Example

1. Create an effective game designer cover letter header & headline

The header and headline of your cover letter are the first elements you should focus on creating, as they help give the document structure.

Your cover letter header will include all the identifying information about you (the applicant) and the company you are applying to (the employer). On the other hand, your cover letter headline will serve as a title statement that helps to grab the employer’s attention.

Below, we have included more in-depth explanations and examples for both of these key cover letter elements:

Formatting the Header

The header of your cover letter does not have one, strict format to follow. However, it should always contain between 3 to 4 lines of text that include:

  • The name of the company you are applying to (& the department, when applicable)
  • Your name and professional title
  • Your professional contact information (phone number, email address, website, etc.)

Here is an example of a well-formatted header on a game designer cover letter

To: Blastoff Game Studios, Development Department From: Ned Smith , Game Designer (123) 456-7890 | [email protected] | nedgames.com

Writing the Headline

When writing the headline of your cover letter, you should always include a keyword related to the position, an eye-catching number or trigger word , a powerful adjective or verb , and a promise .

Here is an example of a well-written game designer headline, followed by a quick breakdown of its key components

My 3 Key Skills as a Game Designer & How They Can Elevate Your Company’s Game Development

Trigger Word/Number : 3 Skills Keyword: Game Designer, Game Development Adjective/Verb: Key, Elevate Promise: Your Company – the addition of this statement to the headline shows the employer that you will relate the information found in your cover letter directly to the needs of their company.

2. Personalize the greeting on your game designer cover letter

Whenever you write a cover letter as a Game Designer, it is crucial to use a personalized greeting rather than a generalized one.

Unlike generalized greetings – such as “To Whom It May Concern” – a personalized greeting will address a specific person or department by name. In doing so, this shows the employer the level of effort you have put into researching their company, as well as highlighting your attention to detail.

If you cannot pinpoint the exact person or department who will review your application, try out one of the following alternatives:

To the [Company Name] Team

To the [Company Name] Hiring Manager

3. Write an eye-catching game designer cover letter introduction

The greeting and headline of your cover letter work together to initially hook an employer’s attention. To keep them interested, however, you will need an eye-catching introduction that includes:

  • A brief overview of your professional history and goals
  • A statement on why you are enthusiastic about applying to this company
  • A mutual acquaintance (when possible)

Here is an example to help demonstrate how to write a game designer cover letter introduction

To the [Company Name] Hiring Manager,

I am a Game Designer with 4+ years of specialized experience in developing and carrying out quality assurance for open-world environments. After being brought on to your company’s most recent project as a freelance designer, Jack Doe – your Lead Developer – gave me the recommendation to apply for this position.

4. Showcase your accomplishments & value as a game designer

With the employer’s attention now firmly hooked thanks to your introduction, it’s time to provide more in-depth insight into your professional qualifications in the body paragraphs. A good cover letter will generally contain between 2 to 4 body paragraphs that answer the following key questions:

  • What excites you about working at this company?
  • What do you hope to learn from working at this company?
  • What accomplishments or qualifications make you stand out as an applicant?
  • What key skills do you possess that are relevant to the position?

Focusing on your relevant accomplishments is especially important, as they help to show the employer the real-life value you can offer their company.

Here is an example of how to describe an accomplishment in a game designer cover letter

As a Game Designer for [Former Employer], I introduced a new developmental workflow that helped to increase worldbuilding efficiency by 25%. Additionally, I supervised more than 40 junior designers on the development of a major RPG project.

5. Conclude your game designer cover letter with a powerful closing statement

To finish off your cover letter strong, you will need a powerful closing statement that includes:

  • An enthusiastic sentence saying you are looking forward to hearing from them
  • An additional sentence stating you will follow up, including how you will contact them or how they can contact you
  • A formal sign-off

Here is an example of an effective closing statement from a game designer cover letter

As a long-time fan of your company’s games, I am excited to contribute my knowledge and talents to your upcoming projects as your new Game Designer. I would love to speak with you directly about this opportunity and my qualifications and am available to schedule a meeting Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The best way to reach me is at (123) 456-7890.

Tips to write a memorable game design cover letter

According to some experts, finding exciting job adverts is one of the most challenging problems job-seekers need to deal with.

But according to our own research, conveying your enthusiasm to a one-page cover letter might prove to be even more challenging.

After all, you don’t want a bland and boring cover letter to represent you, we get it.

But how can you make a strong first impression in just a few lines?

Below, you’ll find the best Game Design cover letter tips and examples that will help you find out.

game design coverletter.png

First off, you need to remember that a cover letter should build upon the information in your resume, rather than just repeat it.

Second, make sure that the tone of voice you use matches the company culture.

And last but not least, try to convey your enthusiasm for the position and the field. This will give your text a personal touch.

But how can you make your cover letter grab every hiring manager's attention? Let’s see…

How to Choose the Most Suitable Salutation and Make a Good Impression

Addressing your cover letter to a specific person works in your favor for two reasons: it shows your attention to detail, and it proves that you’ve taken the time to research who the person might be.

However, sometimes this might be much more difficult than expected. On such occasions, we advise you to focus on salutations that go beyond the impersonal “To Whom It May Concern”.

Here’s a brief list of suitable phrases:

  • To the [team you're applying for] Department,
  • Dear Paul Black,
  • Dear Hiring Manager,
  • Dear Ms. Stone

The introduction of your cover letter is the first thing the hiring manager will read. Logically, having a strong introduction is your chance of getting their attention.

In order to do that, you need to get creative. Don’t just do what everyone else’s been doing for years, i.e. writing “I found this job opening on that website and decided to apply”.

Rather, show that you are genuinely excited about the position and the company. You could do that by mentioning your love for the industry or what you can bring to the table.

Link your hard and soft skills to your achievements

The resume is the place to list all your hard skills. The Game Design cover letter, on the other hand, is the ideal place to emphasize your soft skills and link them to your achievements.

Think about times when your skills have helped you achieve certain goals that seemed too difficult. And don’t worry about admitting some of your weak sides – this is a great way to show recruiters your potential and ability to grow, both professionally and personally.

Looking at the specific job posting requirements could also give you insight on what skills should be included in your resume by all means. This will help you pass applicant tracking systems (ATS) that screen cover letters for keywords before passing them on to recruiters.

Prove your passion about the company,

Showing that you’ve researched the company and are familiar with it is a good way to prove your work-readiness.

It will also point the recruiter to the fact that your skills and qualifications will have a long-term impact on the company. Just link some of your strengths to the ways in which current or potential issues can be resolved.

Finish your cover letter with a call to action

By now you’ve managed to make a good impression on the hiring manager, and it’s important not to ruin it. That’s why you need your ending to be just as great as your cover letter’s body.

But what are the things that make up a memorable closing line? Expressing gratitude for the reader’s time and consideration, and saying that you look forward to their reply, to name a couple.

You can stick to traditional phrases (e.g. Looking forward to hearing from you soon) if you wish to be on the safe side. Just make sure that the language you use matches the company culture.

One of the most important aspects of a game designer cover letter is the opening statement. This is your chance to grab the employer’s attention and make a strong first impression. Consider starting with a brief anecdote or personal story that highlights your passion for gaming and your creative problem-solving skills.

Another key element of a successful game designer cover letter is providing concrete examples of your work and achievements. This can include links to your portfolio or game demos, as well as descriptions of projects you’ve worked on in the past. Be sure to highlight any particularly challenging projects or unique solutions you came up with.

It’s also important to demonstrate your knowledge of the company and its products. Research the company thoroughly and mention specific games or projects they’ve worked on that you admire. This shows that you’ve done your homework and are genuinely interested in working for the company.

Finally, don’t forget to convey your enthusiasm for the job. Employers want to hire individuals who are passionate about their work and excited about the company’s mission. Let your personality shine through in your cover letter and show that you’re eager to contribute to the team.

In summary, a great game designer cover letter should include a strong opening statement, concrete examples of your work and achievements, a demonstration of your knowledge of the company and its products, and a clear expression of your enthusiasm for the job.

Common Mistakes To Avoid When Writing a Game Designer Cover Letter

Writing a cover letter can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to applying for a job in the gaming industry. It’s important to make sure that your cover letter stands out from the rest and showcases your skills and experience effectively. However, even the most experienced job seekers can make common cover letter mistakes that can cost them the job. Here are some of the common mistakes to avoid when writing your game designer cover letter:

  • Don’t submit a generic cover letter that doesn’t reflect your skills or interest in the job. Hiring managers can easily spot a generic cover letter and it shows a lack of effort on your part. Take the time to research the company and tailor your cover letter to the specific job you are applying for.
  • Avoid using generic phrases and cliches that don’t add value to your application. Phrases like “team player” and “hard worker” are overused and don’t provide any insight into your unique skills and abilities. Instead, focus on specific examples of how you have contributed to a team or project.
  • Don’t use informal language or slang in your cover letter. While it’s important to showcase your personality and enthusiasm for the job, using informal language or slang can come across as unprofessional. Stick to a formal tone and use proper grammar and punctuation.
  • Avoid exaggerating or lying about your skills and experience. It’s important to be honest about your abilities and experience, as hiring managers will likely ask you to demonstrate them during the interview process. Instead, focus on highlighting your strengths and how they align with the job requirements.
  • Proofread your cover letter carefully to avoid spelling and grammatical errors. Spelling and grammatical errors can make a negative impression on hiring managers and show a lack of attention to detail. Take the time to proofread your cover letter multiple times and consider having someone else review it as well.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can increase your chances of standing out to hiring managers and landing your dream job as a game designer. Good luck!

Final Steps On Writing Your Game Designer Cover Letter

As you prepare to submit your game designer cover letter, there are a few final steps you should consider to ensure that your application stands out from the rest.

  • Read the job description carefully: Take the time to thoroughly review the job posting and understand the specific requirements for the position. Then, tailor your cover letter to highlight how your skills and experience align with those requirements.
  • Choose a professional font : While it may be tempting to use a unique or creative font, it’s best to stick with a professional and easy-to-read option. Arial or Times New Roman are both good choices.
  • Keep it concise: Your cover letter should be no more than one page in length. Avoid using overly complicated language or including irrelevant details that could detract from your message.
  • Show, don’t tell: Rather than simply stating that you have experience in game design, provide specific examples of projects you have worked on and the skills you utilized. This will help to demonstrate your qualifications and stand out to potential employers.
  • Proofread, proofread, proofread: Before submitting your cover letter, be sure to carefully proofread it for any spelling or grammatical errors. You may also want to have a friend or colleague review it for feedback.

Remember, your cover letter is your chance to make a strong first impression with potential employers. By following these final steps, you can ensure that your application is polished, professional, and tailored to the specific job you are applying for.

What's The Best Structure For Game Developer Cover Letters?

After creating an impressive Game Developer resume , the next step is crafting a compelling cover letter to accompany your job applications. It's essential to remember that your cover letter should maintain a formal tone and follow a recommended structure. But what exactly does this structure entail, and what key elements should be included in a Game Developer cover letter? Let's explore the guidelines and components that will make your cover letter stand out.

Key Components For Game Developer Cover Letters:

  • Your contact information, including the date of writing
  • The recipient's details, such as the company's name and the name of the addressee
  • A professional greeting or salutation, like "Dear Mr. Levi,"
  • An attention-grabbing opening statement to captivate the reader's interest
  • A concise paragraph explaining why you are an excellent fit for the role
  • Another paragraph highlighting why the position aligns with your career goals and aspirations
  • A closing statement that reinforces your enthusiasm and suitability for the role
  • A complimentary closing, such as "Regards" or "Sincerely," followed by your name
  • An optional postscript (P.S.) to add a brief, impactful note or mention any additional relevant information.

Cover Letter Header

A header in a cover letter should typically include the following information:

  • Your Full Name: Begin with your first and last name, written in a clear and legible format.
  • Contact Information: Include your phone number, email address, and optionally, your mailing address. Providing multiple methods of contact ensures that the hiring manager can reach you easily.
  • Date: Add the date on which you are writing the cover letter. This helps establish the timeline of your application.

It's important to place the header at the top of the cover letter, aligning it to the left or center of the page. This ensures that the reader can quickly identify your contact details and know when the cover letter was written.

Cover Letter Greeting / Salutation

A greeting in a cover letter should contain the following elements:

  • Personalized Salutation: Address the hiring manager or the specific recipient of the cover letter by their name. If the name is not mentioned in the job posting or you are unsure about the recipient's name, it's acceptable to use a general salutation such as "Dear Hiring Manager" or "Dear [Company Name] Recruiting Team."
  • Professional Tone: Maintain a formal and respectful tone throughout the greeting. Avoid using overly casual language or informal expressions.
  • Correct Spelling and Title: Double-check the spelling of the recipient's name and ensure that you use the appropriate title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr., or Professor) if applicable. This shows attention to detail and professionalism.

For example, a suitable greeting could be "Dear Ms. Johnson," or "Dear Hiring Manager," depending on the information available. It's important to tailor the greeting to the specific recipient to create a personalized and professional tone for your cover letter.

Cover Letter Introduction

An introduction for a cover letter should capture the reader's attention and provide a brief overview of your background and interest in the position. Here's how an effective introduction should look:

  • Opening Statement: Start with a strong opening sentence that immediately grabs the reader's attention. Consider mentioning your enthusiasm for the job opportunity or any specific aspect of the company or organization that sparked your interest.
  • Brief Introduction: Provide a concise introduction of yourself and mention the specific position you are applying for. Include any relevant background information, such as your current role, educational background, or notable achievements that are directly related to the position.
  • Connection to the Company: Demonstrate your knowledge of the company or organization and establish a connection between your skills and experiences with their mission, values, or industry. Showcasing your understanding and alignment with their goals helps to emphasize your fit for the role.
  • Engaging Hook: Consider including a compelling sentence or two that highlights your unique selling points or key qualifications that make you stand out from other candidates. This can be a specific accomplishment, a relevant skill, or an experience that demonstrates your value as a potential employee.
  • Transition to the Body: Conclude the introduction by smoothly transitioning to the main body of the cover letter, where you will provide more detailed information about your qualifications, experiences, and how they align with the requirements of the position.

By following these guidelines, your cover letter introduction will make a strong first impression and set the stage for the rest of your application.
