Printer-friendly versionPDF version

 

 

Written communication makes up a very significant part of a successful job hunt.  Effective communication by mail may be the difference in being hired or not being hired.  Getting your resume into the hands of somebody who can hire you will give you a enormous advantage.

 

Cover letters should be individualized introductions outlining your skills and qualifications.

They're used whenever you prefer to mail your resume.  The cover letter introduces you and states precisely why the resume is being sent.  The cover letter will likewise essentially give your qualifications and ask for an interview.  Writing an effective cover letter is just as important as having a good resume.
