Letters of interest, any experience?
- Page 1 of 1
I have a very particular set of skills… skills that will make me perfect for this line of work
Doesn't quite sound right😶. I'm looking to pitch myself towards some of the more humanitarian oriented organizations and networks out here but I have no idea where to start. Most of the letters of intent/interest I've read seem like shots in the dark and don't follow any particular template.
Any tips or recommendations?

Humanitarian work huh? Talk about your interest in the mission rather than yourself. They care more about keeping people on and their passion for the work rather than showboating yourself.
Three paragraphs or so... Under a page is the general rule.
Opening, skills and closing. Your resume will be with it so you don't need it to be long.
The key is that you are selling yourself to them, so you need to show why it is good for them to have you in their organization.
You want to try to make tailored letters for each company you are looking into, even if they are similar companies change it up if you can.
