How to write a cover letter: structure, tips, and examples

Want to Work at Puig? Here’s How to Write a Standout Cover Letter – Step by Step.

A cover letter is more than a formality, it’s your chance to make a meaningful first impression. It complements your resume by telling the story behind your experience — and why you’d be a great fit for Puig.

Taking the time to write a tailored cover letter shows genuine interest both in the rol in Puig.

It’s a simple yet powerful way to show what makes you unique. Because when it comes to landing your dream job, the little things can make a big difference.

What is the difference between a CV and a cover letter?

While both documents are essential when applying for a role, they each serve a different purpose.

Your CV is a clear and structured overview of your professional journey. Think of it as a snapshot of your career so far; objective, concise, and focused on the facts.

Your cover letter, on the other hand, is where your personality and motivation come through. It’s your chance to speak directly to the recruiter, share why you’re excited about the role, and explain what draws you to Puig. It’s where you connect the dots between who you are and what you can bring, beyond what’s on your CV.

Together, these two documents tell a fuller story: your skills, your potential, and most importantly, your why.

How to structure your Cover Letter to make it shine?

We’re here to help you craft a clear, confident cover letter that reflects who you are and makes a strong first impression. With the right structure and a touch of personality, your cover letter can truly stand out.

• Contact information
1. Full name
2. Phone number

4. City of residence
5. Link to your LinkedIn profile or online portfolio

Make sure your information is accurate and up to date. A small error could mean missing out on valuable opportunities to connect.
