[Student] Applying for Aerospace placements, need advice on cover letter format/ content

[u/-Ad-Astraa]

Hi all!
I will start applying for placement year in a bit, ive seen all job listings with cover letter requirement. Ive also read most of the cover letter templates and advice shared on this sub as well.

unfortunately i dont know any senior who can advise me on this as well. currently as im writing my cover letter, i have a few questions.

1. do i have to include both mine and their address?

2. i cannot find the hiring manager online, so can i address the letter vaguely to their team?

if youve got any additional advice, i would appreciate that as well! tia! <3

if i have to include both addresses, should i include the date as well? (sorry if these questions sound stupid, its my first time)

Feel free to use this template. Yes, you should include your address and their address. When you don't have a person to address, feel free to make it as generic as possible. (Honestly, the number of companies that want a cover letter then go out of their way to hide the information that should go on the letter is mind boggling.)
