Getting Started - Writing a
Cover Letter
To properly introduce your resume you always want
to send a cover letter with your resume. You can
think of it as the introduction of your resume. Each
cover letter you send should be tailored for that
specific position. For example, how you are qualified
for that position or why you would be a good fit
with that organization. Do not reiterate your entire
resume, remember you are including it. To avoid making
some of the common mistakes made while creating a
cover letter please review 10

want to refer to the Personal
Qualities and Characteristics Checklist (pdf) to
help you describe yourself. Please contact Career
Services if you have any questions.
