When & Why Do I Need a Cover Letter?

  • Any time you send your resume to an employer it should be accompanied by a cover letter.
  • A cover letter acts as an introduction for your resume.
  • A cover letter also stands as a sample of your writing skills, so be sure to make it the best possible sample you can.
  • If you are sending your resume via email - the cover letter is the email message itself. Then attach the resume following the employer's instructions (i.e., MSWord document, text document, etc.)
