Cover Letter Tips (Editor's Note)
A cover letter is a letter of introduction in which you present yourself to the employer.  It should be looked at as complementing your resume.  A well-written cover letter will give a personal touch to your application and draw attention to your strengths.  A recruiter that is impressed with your cover letter will pay more attention to your resume.
 
Avoid writing long cover letters and stick to what is essential to advance your application.  Answer questions that are normally not communicated in resumes such as why you are interested in the position, how you became aware of the opening, etc.  Many experts argue that cover letters are at best neutral.  This means that most of the time, it is the resume that will seal the deal.
