Organization
Excellent
There is an introduction, body, and conclusion. There is also a proper salutation at the beginning with a precise contact name. The entire cover letter amounts to no more than a page in length. It makes for a great introduction to the resume.
Good
Most of the organization is appropriate, but there are a few minor tweeks that could be made to make the resume complete.
Average
Some of the organization is correct, but there are still a couple major problems that are rather distracting to the viewer.
Fair
An attempt was made to organize the cover letter, but there are still significant problems that distract the viewer from reading it from top to bottom.
Needs Improvement
The cover letter has little to no organization whatsoever, which could mean inconsistent fonts, no separation of paragraphs, or improper ordering of topics.
Content
Excellent
The content within the main parts of the cover letter includes all of the necessary information about yourself (qualifications and strengths that pertain to the job), how you found the job, and how you will affect the company in the future.
Good
A few minor pieces of content are missing that in are crucial in order to make the cover letter top-notch.
Average
A lot of the information is present, but a couple major, relevant pieces are still missing.
Fair
There are significant parts of the cover letter that are missing or are inserted improperly.
Needs Improvement
There is little to no content present in the cover letter. No effort was put forth in order to include the necessary information. It is missing all or almost all of the needed information (information about how you qualify for the job and your strengths pertaining to it, how you found the job, why you will be a good fit with the company).
Spelling and Grammar
Excellent
There are no spelling or grammar errors throughout the entire cover letter.
Good
There are a few minor misspellings or grammatical errors that will be easy to fix to make it look nice.
Average
There is a mix of good spelling and poor spelling or proper grammar and improper grammar.
Fair
There are either lots of misspellings or there is very little correct grammar present in the cover letter.
Needs Improvement
There are lots of misspellings and weakness within the cover letter.
