Objectives
A job application letter (or cover letter) is a letter of introduction to an
employer, which is used to formally submit a résumé for the employer to review. The main purpose of the cover letter is to direct the reader quickly and persuasively to the enclosed materials. It also formally presents you as available for a job position or range of positions within a company. Most importantly, the cover letter is an opportunity to quickly introduce you and grab the employer’s attention. A letter of application is a critical part of the job search process. It allows you the first opportunity to gain some interest from the employer.
