Let’s be honest: if a job application asks for a cover letter, are you skipping it or applying anyway?
Cover letters can feel time-consuming, but they can also help you stand out, especially when they explain something your resume cannot.
Use your cover letter to show why you’re interested in the company, connect your experience to the role, and share a quick example that proves your skills in action.
Keep it short, personal, and proofread.
Your resume tells them what you’ve done. Your cover letter helps explain why it matters.
