Introductory Paragraph

An Introductory Paragraph is used in a resume cover letter to grab the reader's attention and convince them that it is worthwhile to read more.  Therefore, the introductory paragraph should include a brief overview of your skills and experience and a fact based approach to your achievements.  The information in an introductory paragraph should mirror the information already contained in your resume.

Below is an example of a sentence that might be included in an introductory paragraph:

I have combined my MBA in Corporate Finance with my work experience in regulatory affairs, marketing research and strategic planning to develop business cases resulting in multimillion dollar investments by XYZ Company.  

The introductory paragraph is one of three components that should be included in the cover letter text.  The other components are the cover letter body, and the closing paragraph.
