Cover Letters
The purpose of a good cover letter is to make a positive 昀rst
impression, provide a writing sample and inspire the employer
to invite you to an interview.
Before you begin writing a cover letter, you should review
the job or internship posting and identify how your skills and
experiences line up with those listed in the position.
A cover letter should be targeted and make clear why you
are interested in the position and what value you can bring
to the organization.
