COVER LETTER THE MOST NEGLECTED YET MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A JOB APPLICATION!

 **COVER LETTER! THE MOST NEGLECTED YET MOST IMPORTANT PART OF A JOB APPLICATION**

*"A Great resume will get you not-rejected, a great cover letter will get you hired”* DHH, Founder of Bosecamp

A cover letter is a formal application letter, its a marketing tool used to showcase a unique combination of an applicant skills-set, knowledge and experience and how it matches the key requirements of a specific job description (cover letter is not generic).

Most applicant neglect cover letter and think a great resume will get the job done, this is not true! Please note, while a great resume/CV is a door to employment opportunities a well-written cover letter is a key 

A detailed cover letter (attachment or email body) is meant to introduce your resume to a prospective employer and why you are a more suitable candidate for the job with your resume being a VISIBLE EVIDENCE!

Most employers get many applications for every open job, and your cover letter and resume need to show that you've taken the time to write a compelling application material that shows your interest in working for the company in that role, a recruiter need not read more than two lines to know when a cover letter is generic.

A well-written cover letter should show a connection between your personality and professionalism as regard to the role you are applying for. 

Searching for a job is a job! The reward is the result
