Introduction
When applying for a job, a business may require a cover letter. This is an opportunity beyond the resume to highlight your skills, experience, and qualifications. Use the space to sell yourself as to why you are the best candidate. Remember, just like the resume, always start with the job description and aim to include the responsibilities you have experience with doing. The job description may also include a name to address the letter.

Why does the job description matter?
Remember, it's important to read through the job description to get an understanding of what skills the company is looking for in a candidate. Always update your cover letter to reflect each new job you are applying for.
