When your resume is online and you can apply for a job with a few clicks of a button, the optional cover letter might seem unimportant. But don’t underestimate the importance of taking the time to customize a cover letter for the position you’re applying for! While some employers only glance at a letter, others won’t even look at a resumé without one – and you never know who’ll be looking at it!

Remember, a cover letter can be used to:

  • Highlight specific skills
  • Show your interest and enthusiasm in a company
  • Stress your accomplishments
  • Explain any significant gaps in your career history
  • Add a touch of personality

Remember, it’s very important to keep your resumé professional – but it can be the added touch that gets you that crucial first interview!
