The cover letter is usually the first item an employer reads from you. Your letter should immediately indicate what position you are applying for and then give information that demonstrates why you should be considered for the position. Do not repeat all of the information contained in your resume.
Beyond that, Siegel boils down the most important things to include in a cover letter to three points. "Show enthusiasm, show you've done research, and show you want to come in there and make a contribution," he says.
A header with your contact information and the employer's information if you have it. A professional salutation that includes the employer's name if you have it. A brief introduction explaining why you're interested in the job. One or two body paragraphs that summarize your qualifications.
Here are some resume writing tips to help you craft an effective one. Tailor your resume to the job. Use action verbs and keywords. Quantify your achievements. Customize your cover letter for the job. Highlight your relevant skills and experience. Keep it concise and professional. Keep it organized and visually appealing.
Ideally, you should type no more than one or two brief paragraphs. Introduce yourself and state that your resume and cover letter are attached. Keep the tone somewhat formal, and make sure you adhere to the basics of good written communication (e.g., proper greeting, excellent grammar and spelling, proper salutation).
Keeping your cover letter with your resume, in a single document lessens the chance of losing that impressive letter, and it's easier for a potential employer to print.
