The word that is heard perishes, but the letter that is written remains. – Unknown
Cover letters are a great way (and most of the times the only way) to get an employer interested in your resume and you.
Many job seekers spend hours crafting each item on their resume. Then they whip out a quick and ordinary cover letter full of mistakes -not realizing that the format to a cover letter is just as important as a resume.
Cover letters, or application letters, have managed to cause a great deal of confusion for many job seekers – should I send one, how long should it be, what should I include, will anyone read it?
The answer to the first question is easy – YES, you should always send a cover letter with your application; the other questions however, require a little more explanation.
See below what the format to a cover letter is and what does a cover letter look like.
