The Cover Letter is Important

Some applicants forgo writing the cover letter because they think it’s a waste of time and it makes their resume “bulkier”. Actually, it depends on what you’re applying for, if it’s for a blue-colored job go ahead, if it’s for an office-type of job then you should include one.
Here are some tips on how to format your cover letter:

Always use the same heading for your cover letter that you have used in your resume.
Whenever possible, use the hiring manager’s name. This personalizes the document and shows attention to detail.

Include in your opening paragraph what job you’re interested in and a specific reason as to why you feel qualified for this position.

Include in the body of the letter the specific experience, skills or accomplishments from your past that dovetail with the requirements of the new job.
