How do I incorporate my salary requirements into my cover letter without coming across as two demanding?

You don't. Your cover letter is for a general "I'm interested and good for this position because..." You don't discuss salary until interview and job offer time.

You should not mention salary requirements in the cover letter. It is simply in bad taste. To avoid wasting your time, as well as that of the interviewer, you can ask HR about the salary range. If they don't supply it, you can ask for it if and when the interview is arranged.

I would not be including salary requirements in an introductory letter. Wait until you get a face to face interview before raising this issue. As a new graduate, you may come across as too cocky in a letter. Once you are sitting with a prospective employer, read their manner, their body language and their style of communicating before opening the topic. Generally, someone looking to employ a new graduate will have a clear idea of what salary they will offer, so I believe they will raise the topic first. If they ask you what your salary expectation is, try to phrase your response as humbly as you can while still remaining clear and firm about what you want. I don't know what industry you are talking about, but only this week I started a new graduate. I told him at the interview what remuneration I was offering and left it to him to decide. Good luck

Meika, Instead of incorporating it into your cover letter. Let your salary requirements remain negotiable. Get the interview first, then find out what the job description is before you submit salary requirements. Many employers will post a job making it sound like a great paying job, just to have it turn out to be not worth your schooling or intellect. Hope this helps, J

Salary Requirments is usually a part of the resume it self, not the cover letter. Most employers expect it to be there, so it shouldn't come accross as demanding.
