Your\u00a0cover letter\u00a0can also explain things that your resume can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a cover letter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A cover letter is a one-page document that, along with\u00a0your resume, is sent with your job application. A cover letter is your chance to tell a potential employer why you\u2019re the perfect person for the position and how your skills and expertise can add value to the company. The letter should be professional but personable, and serve as a sort of introduction.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of job seekers today wonder if a cover letter is still appropriate to send with your resume\u2014and the answer is yes! Even if an employer doesn\u2019t ask for a cover letter, it couldn\u2019t hurt to send one. In fact, it\u00a0can help you get someone&#8217;s attention in a different way, and it can be a great way to display your enthusiasm for the job and company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basic Elements of a Cover Letter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following should be included in the cover letter:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your name and address preferably in the header area of letterhead that resembles or matches your resume.<\/li>\n<li>Current date.<\/li>\n<li>Name and address of the person\/company you are sending the letter to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greeting \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Address your cover letter to the proper person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opening \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Write a personable, inviting opening paragraph that notes which position you are applying for and how you learned of the job opening.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Achievements and Skills \u2013\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Highlight your past achievements as they relate to the job you\u2019re applying for.\u00a0Emphasize\u00a0additional relevant skills and certifications which show you meet the job requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closing:\u00a0<\/strong>Briefly recap your strengths as a candidate, why you want to work for the organization, a call for action or next steps, and your contact information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"content-column\" class=\"responseContent\">\n<div class=\"intro-text-tools\">\n<div class=\"subtitle\">\n<p><strong>Template for writing your cover letters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"page-text\" class=\"clearfix\">\n<p>Use the same letterhead format you did for your resume if it is attractive which includes the following in a header section of a Microsoft Word document:\u00a0 Your Name, Street Address, City, State Zip Code, Phone Number, Email address.\u00a0 You will NOT type this information as it appears here with just commas separating each element of the header.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Date<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Individual\u2019s Name (at the business you are applying to), Job Title (that individual\u2019s job title within the business)<br \/>\nName of Organization or Company (company where you are applying)<br \/>\nStreet Address<br \/>\nCity, State Zip Code<\/p>\n<p>Dear Mr.\/Ms. WhoEver Is Listed Above (if no name is provided please ask me for help):<\/p>\n<p>First Paragraph: State the reason for writing.
