A cover letter should accompany each resume. It is used to support what you mentioned in the resume. A cover letter has a life expectancy of about 8 seconds. In this short amount of time, you must achieve the certain goal.

Goals of the Cover Letter:
- Clearly mention your skills and knowledge
- Explain how these credentials can make the best contribution to company
- Persuade the reader to continue on your resume

Rules for Cover Letter:
- Target the message
- Relate your skills and experiences to the specific position in the company

Focus on what you have to offer:

- Check your letter for grammar error
- Use the same font that you used for the resume

Send your letter to specific person:

    Also, it’s super important to have a professional proof-read your cover letter to check for common mistakes (like writing the name of the wrong company or position, or grammar bloopers). Services like http://www.coverBetter.com do this really cheaply for members (plus provide tools for writing more cover letters faster). You should check it out :-)
