What is cover letter and why it’s required?
A cover letter summarizes you and your resume in a
maximum of four paragraphs and gives an employer a complete idea about your
abilities and experience in just one page. It thus, convinces the reader to
consider your application and make a decision for reviewing your resume with
sheer attention.
Another important thing in writing a cover letter is to not
make it look like your resume. You should write enough to present the best of
you in front of the employer but not write so much that the employer loses his/her
mind and decided to dump your letter. You must keep in mind that you are
applying only to a single employer, but the employer gets many applications, so
you must respect his/her time.
The format of the cover letter is similar to a formal
letter. Your name and contact details, should be highlighted. This gives ease
to the employer to contact you immediately.
