Cover Letter

I found this article very relevant to the situation that most students are currently in looking for jobs and internships. A cover letter's main purpose is to catch the attention of the employer and encourage them to take a further look into your resume. The main idea of the website is to tailor the cover letter to each individual job to show your personal interest in the company. Before taking this class and reading the website, I did not fully understand the magnitude or the importance of a cover letter. I will now make sure I spend just as much, if not more time, working on conveying the first impression that I want to give an employer through my cover letter.
