Samples of gaming cover letters

When applying for a gaming position, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position with you further.”

Sample 1: “Cover letter for a gaming position”

“Hi there,

As an avid Hitmarker user, I was excited to see an opportunity with your organization on the board yesterday and knew I had to apply as soon as I could. I have been on your website every day for the past few months and find it to be the best resource for jobs in the gaming industry, so I know it would be great to be a part of your team.

As someone who has managed social media accounts for numerous growing gaming organizations over the past few years, I know what it takes to build a following, and my previous customer service experience outside of games means I would be very capable of dealing with your users on a day-to-day basis. In addition to this, I have regularly used Adobe Suite for over three years and consider myself an expert with Illustrator and Photoshop in particular.

Becoming Hitmarker’s new full-time Social Media Manager would be the next logical step in my career after working on a freelance, part-time basis in the gaming industry for the last three years. I have taken newer organizations like Team X from a few hundred Twitter followers to over 10,000 by creating unique content and using tools like Buffer to schedule posts to land at the most impactful times.

My extensive graphic design experience and strong command of the English language means that I could be described as a Social Media Machine. I turn up fully committed every day of the week and love to have a personal investment in the brand I represent. I feel like I can adapt to become the voice of any organization due to my immersion in the industry.

In my spare time, you’re most likely to find me watching or playing Warzone, keeping up with the latest fashion trends or researching successful social media accounts from outside of the space. I am also a huge sports nut and a keen reader, with autobiographies being my preference on that front.

I know I can be an immediately-contributing team member to Hitmarker because my familiarity with your brand gives me a head start on 99% of the other applicants you will get for this great role.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Rich”
