When applying for a new job always include a cover letter; whether it’s required or not. It’s professional and tells the employer a little more about you…a great cover letter can take a small resume a long way!

Cover letters are a huge part of your resume. This is the first introduction you will have with your potential employer. What better way to kick start an awesome work relationship than with the benefit of a handy cover letter?

Biggest thing to remember: Check for spelling!!!

Send it to a friend to proofread if you have had problems with spelling and grammar in the past.

Whether it is sent through email if applying online or hand-delivered to the place of business, as long as you make it professional yet personal it will serve it’s purpose and benefit you in the long run.
