How To Address A Cover Letter Without A Namesake. Just as you personalize your resume to the role you should also address the cover letter to the person actually hiring for the position. If you are blindly sending a cover letter you can always send a more generic to whom it may concern letter.
At the very top of your cover letter you need a header including your full name contact information your email address and phone number will suffice. Your cover letter should be addressed to the hiring manager by name whenever possible. If a job posting doesnt include a persons name do some research to find out who the correct person is.
It is generally best to use Dear followed by either Mr or Ms unless you specifically know that a woman prefers Miss or Mrs.
Appropriate cover letter greetings. If you cannot find the name of the hiring manager reader use a generic greeting to address your cover letter. To the IT Hiring Manager. Dear Finance Hiring Team.
