Cover Letter Purpose
Most people don't realize the weight a cover letter carries, if the resume is the who,where, and when, the cover letter is the how and the what. The objectives you completed and how you went about doing it. Recruiters are inundated with resumes, they'll tell you that the ones devoid of the cover will quickly be consigned to trash.
Today's cover letter is really a sales tool, like a sales letter in marketing, except the product being marketed is you, as a solution to the company's problem. Keep that in mind when you construct your next cover letter, as this approach will help make you a stand out and get you a lot closer to landing your next job.
