Writing a Cover Letter

To make a good impression, send a cover letter along with your resume. A cover letter helps to introduce you to an employer. You might send the same resume to different companies. However, you should write a different cover letter for each job. A cover letter should be submitted along with the resume (on top of the resume). It is brief, neat and error-free. An Excellent cover letter:

• Is addressed to a specific person (Usually the supervisor).
• Identifies the specific job for which you are applying and how you found about it.
• Summarizes your skills.
• Tells the employer about your availability for an interview and for employment.
• Provides information on how to contact you.
