Many people overlook the importance of a cover letter, and instead only focus on putting an effort into their resume. However, the cover letter is just as important in getting an employer to call you for an interview. It is highly recommended that you include a cover letter to accompany your résumé—one that showcases your achievements and how well your qualifications match the position requirements for the position you seek. Your cover letter attracts your audience to want to read your résumé and invite you in for an interview.
