Cover Letter Elements

A Cover Letter is sent along with your resume and gives people a thorough idea of you and your abilities in narrative letter form. 

Often, this is the first document people will see about you, even before your resume. 

You need to catch people’s eyes with the key words that they are looking for in order to attract and keep their attention on you.
