GET NOTICED
Don’t sleep on the cover letter
Over 50% of employers prefer candidates send a cover letter with their application, even if it’s not required. A cover letter will give you a leg up on other candidates, showing you’re serious about the position and--in a tie-breaker--can help employers make a final decision about who to interview.

TELL YOUR STORY
Craft a narrative
Use the cover letter as an opportunity to elaborate on aspects of your resume. You can address any employment gaps, layoffs, or upcoming relocations. Your cover letter also helps employers get to know you beyond your resume.
