What is a cover letter ?
A cover letter introduces you and your resume to potential employers or organizations you apply or seek to join (non-profits, educational institutions, etc.).
The cover letter is a chance to tell a prospective employer in writing why you are the right person/intern for their internship/job and their office.
It's a supplement to the resume that includes more detailed information about yourself.
The purpose of a cover letter is to respond basically to 3 questions
- Why are you writing?
- Why are you a good match for the job and the organization?
- When will you contact the company?
