 Cover Letter Template you can customize per job

 Capability Statement formatted for SAM.gov or business use

Cover Letter = Your Personal Connection

Use this when you’re applying for jobs.
It tells the story behind your résumé — who you are, what drives you, and how your experience fits the position.
Include ATS-friendly keywords like:

Customer Service, Records Management, Case Coordination, Workflow Optimization, Compliance, Data Accuracy, Program Support.

A strong cover letter helps hiring managers see both your skills and sincerity in one page.


🧾 Capability Statement = Your Business Résumé

Use this when you’re seeking contracts or partnerships — especially on SAM.gov or with government agencies.
It highlights what your business can deliver, backed by measurable outcomes and certifications.
Sprinkle in keywords such as:

Administrative Support, Document Processing, Healthcare Support Services, Educational Program Assistance, Cybersecurity Compliance, Workforce Development.

A great capability statement positions you as a vendor, not just a job seeker.
