Employers might ask for a cover letter. It usually accompanies a resume.

• It should also be on white paper and typed.
• Include your address and the date at the top of the page.
• Include the name of the person you are writing to and the company's mailing address.
• Single space the body of the letter.
• Don't forget your complimentary close (e.g., Yours truly,).

Keep your letter short. Three paragraphs:

• State why you are writing.
• Highlight your qualifications and experiences
• State that you are looking forward to discussing this position in person. Thank them for reading your letter.

Be positive. Be professional.
