Cover Letter Guidelines and Samples
A cover letter is typically a one-page letter or email that you submit when applying to a job or internship, along with your resume, to connect the dots between your skills and interests and the opportunity. A cover letter is a piece of persuasive writing that aims to convey to the employer why you're a great candidate and fit for the role. You should highlight what makes you stand out from others, but remember to keep your letter focused on how you will contribute to the employer, rather than on how the job will benefit you
