A great cover letter is a powerful marketing tool that differentiates you from the competition and can give you an edge. Along with your résumé, a cover letter is an integral part of your career marketing package.

Do I Need A Cover Letter?

YES. The cover letter may be a short note as a follow-up to networking activities or a letter of introduction in a cold calling situation. Taking the time to write a cover letter demonstrates your attention to detail, respect for proper communication practices, and most importantly provides another opportunity to sell yourself. Unless you were instructed to send your resume without a cover letter, you should always include one.

Reviewers fall into three groups, those who never read cover letters, those who always read cover letters, and those who read them when your resume sparks their interest. You cannot predict who those people are and when you will encounter them. If you don't include a cover letter with your resume, you've given away competitive advantage.
