More info

A cover letter is a 1-page document that introduces you and your top 2-3 skills or qualifications to the employer for the specific job you are applying to. It should not exceed more than one page.In the first paragraph: highlight your interest in the organization in general and the position you're applying for in particular. Drop a name if possible. As a general rule, send a one-page cover letter every time you submit a resume. Customize the cover letter for each specific job for which you applying. Explain your past positions, experiences, and skill set. But, be careful because the second paragraph should not be a reiteration of what is on your resume. Reiterate your interest in the organization and why you'd be a good fit. A cover letter serves as a bridge connecting the resume you send to the specific job opportunity you're applying for.
