Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • A cover letter is a short document sent with a resume that contains a summary of information in the resume, like applicant details, past experience, and a personal statement.

    A cover letter may be sent as the first page of a physical document or digital PDF, or in the body of an email to which a more detailed resume is attached.

  • Cover letters help employers filter job applications by providing a concise overview of an applicant’s experience, skills, and personal information. Some employers will ignore resumes without a cover letter.

  • Cover letters should follow a simple format unless otherwise stipulated: begin by addressing the recipient, dedicate a separate paragraph to each section, and include contact details at the end.
