Often times when applying for a job, presenting a sound and professional cover letter can be just as important as a thorough and polished resume. A cover letter should not simply reiterate the resume, but rather create a friendly, yet professional tone that conveys the applicant's personality traits, skill set and how they can personally make the business or company better by hiring them. The .
point of the letter is to introduce one's self to the hiring manager and give them the reasons they need to choose the applicant as the best suited for the position.
A cover letter for a resume should not list all of the applicant's skills and experience, but instead briefly highlight them while showing any particular strong points. The applicant should close the letter by leaving all relevant contact information and a quick thank you. Review the examples from the attached links for more information.
