A cover letter adds depth to your resume and allows you to showcase your personality. It also provides you with a more detailed explanation of why you should be considered for the position.

Rules for writing a cover letter

The first sentence should grab the employer's attention. Point out your common interests in achieving success in the job. For example: "My work experience, connections, knowledge of databases ... will help your company achieve good results." Express your enthusiasm for the job. The letter should be short (5-6 sentences), but to the point.
