Collaboration: Merged into Paragraph 3
This page has moved.
The cover letter guide now uses a four-paragraph structure rather than five. The content that lived on this page about teamwork and collaboration has been merged into Paragraph 3: What You Bring, where collaboration is now discussed alongside technical skills as evidence of your contribution.
The short version: you do not need a separate paragraph to prove you can work in a team. One specific sentence about a team project, embedded in paragraph 3, is enough. Every applicant claims to be a strong collaborator; the ones who get hired prove it through what they did, not what they claim.
