What is a cover letter?
Job seekers include a cover letter when they submit their resumes to potential employers. Since the cover letter is often the first contact an employer has with a potential employee, spending time writing a quality cover letter could determine whether or not the job seeker reaches the interview round.

An effective cover letter should emphasize important points in the resume without duplicating the exact content. Future employees should highlight the skills and experiences they possess that meet the goals of the company they want to hire them, which means that applicants should write a distinct cover letter for each job for which they apply.
