Cover Letters
Cover letters allow job seekers to elaborate and highlight information contained in their resume. They also allow them to address specific aspects of the position advertised. A good cover letter can be as important as the documentation outlined in a resume. The resources listed here focus on cover letter, however, advice and examples can also be found in general career or resume resources.
