This question is about how to write a cover letter.

Do you introduce yourself in a cover letter?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

No, you do not introduce yourself in a cover letter. By that we mean you do not say "My name is so-and-so" -- you simply jump into your background and why you're interested in the position.

Your name can be found at the bottom of the cover letter, as well as the header, your email address, and your resume, so there's no need to force it awkwardly into your cover letter's opening.
