Cover Letter

What is the best way to write a cover letter?

There is no "perfect" cover letter. In fact, each cover letter should be unique, reflecting the job that is being applied for and the experience and personality of the writer.

There are no rigid rules to follow, either. Unlike a resume, a cover letter can be extremely flexible, providing the perfect opportunity to draw attention to your assets.
