A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. A cover letter typical provides detailed information on why are you are qualified for the job you are applying for. Effective cover letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences.
Examples: Susan wrote a cover letter to send with her resume.

It is a letter that goes before your resume. The cover letter tells who you are in a professional manner, you may include where you found the job and why it it right for you. This may be the place to explain a lapse in work, a job that lasted only a few months, etc. Keep it professional, not too personal, about 1/3 to 1/2 a page in most cases and not too repetitive of what the resume says. Good luck!

A cover letter accompanies your resume when you apply for a job. It briefly tells why you may be a good match for the position, and also requests an interview.
