You know that popular saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover?” In this case, that’s exactly what employers do when fishing for new talent.

Resumes are the first thing employees see of your potential character. While this is true, they’re often accompanied by cover letters directed to a hiring authority.

Cover letters are an important piece of the job application, but it’s often overlooked by job-seekers. We encourage people to keep the cover letter in the arsenal.

When job postings request a cover letter, it’s important to provide the company with one; but when they merely ask for a resume, it’s best to not include a cover letter. Be conscious when applying for positions and read the application instructions carefully.

When the application process begins with the cover letter, keep in mind its purpose: to introduce yourself and your resume to the hiring authority, which could be anyone from recruiters and HR professionals, to VPs or the CEO.

If they don’t like your cover letter, there’s a chance they might not even look at your resume.

Writing a cover letter can be a daunting task. So, we have some tips for you on how to write a solid yet simple cover letter, and get noticed above other applicants.
