Cover Letter

A cover letter is designed to introduce you and your background to a potential employer. It should stimulate the reader to 1) read your resume and 2) grant you an interview.



IMPORTANT NOTE: Your cover letter is your first chance to make a good impression. It also serves as an example of your written communication skills. A poorly written letter may be rejected before the resume is even considered! Take your time and be sure to ask for assistance from the CEL if necessary.
