How do I write a cover letter conclusion?

Given the job market and how competitive it is, it's important to leave a lasting impression on your cover letter. Often, the conclusion can do just that!

See that quote above? That is what you want them to believe — that there is just one of you!

Be confident in what you can offer, show it through a real example, and leave the employer with a reason to remember you.

Show that you're interested in this specific company and position, not just looking for any job. You can do this by researching the company’s mission, values, and how they treat their employees. Mention something that stood out to you and explain why it matters to you.

For example, if you notice that the company values teamwork and helping others, you could say:

“I really admire your company’s commitment to teamwork and supporting others because I thrive in environments where people work together. I value being someone my team can rely on, and I would bring that same mindset to this role.”

After explaining what you admire about the company, give a real example that shows you already practice that value. This helps the employer see that you're not just saying what they want to hear — you have actually done it.

For example:

“In my previous role, I noticed that a new team member was struggling to learn our process, so I took the time to create a simple guide and check in with them throughout their first few weeks. By the end of the month, they were working independently and felt much more comfortable asking questions. Experiences like this have shown me how much I value helping others succeed.”

This makes you more memorable because you're showing your qualities through an example instead of simply listing them.

Your final sentences should leave the employer with a clear sense that you are confident in what you can bring to the company. You don't need to sound overly confident or assume that you will get the job. Simply show that you believe in your abilities and are ready to contribute and provide contact information.

For example:

“I am confident that my ability to work well with others, support my team, and take initiative would allow me to make a positive contribution to your company. I would welcome the opportunity to bring these qualities to the role and continue growing with your team. I would be happy to discuss my qualifications further and can be reached by phone or email at your convenience.”
