A cover letter to prospective employers is the first thing seen by those considering employees for a job. The cover letter makes a first impression about the candidate applying for a position. When employers have many job applications to sift through, a positive first impression can possibly make the difference between being called in for an interview or being passed over without a second .
glance.
Cover letters for job applications should be succinct, well written and provide details about the applicant without restating what is in the actual resume and/or application. Good cover letters have accurate contact information, a body detailing the qualifications listed in the actual resume, a salutation and finally, a closing. It is important to remember that this letter should show off what the employer is looking for in an employee rather than the other way around.
