The cover letter for a job resume should be both brief and informative. It is best if the cover letter is written to a specific person, such as a human resources manager or department head. Avoid generic openings if possible. The introductory paragraph should give the recipient a brief summary of how the applicant found the job opening and why they are a good fit for the position. The next .
paragraph should go into more detail about the applicant's job experience and education, as well as highlight previous accomplishments. The final paragraph should include the applicant's contact information and a promise to follow up with the employer. The letter should then end with a complimentary closing. Paper cover letters should always be signed by hand; email cover letters should include the applicant's name and contact information at the end in place of a signature.
