what is cover letter ? How to write cover letter

What is cover letter:
 A cover letter or covering letter is a letter of introduction attached to,
 or accompanying another document such as a résumé or curriculum vitae.

Why write a cover letter?

It’s Expected. That’s not much of a reason but if you want a job, it’s reason enough.
 Although many employers and personnel managers ignore cover letters and go straight
to the resume, there’s an even greater number who read cover letters in their entirety.
 So don’t take chances: always include a cover letter with every resume you send.

It's Revealing. A cover letter introduces you to an employer and reveals information
that often can't be gained from a resume. A cover shows an employer:
              - your ability to communicate in writing

              - your writing style – which usually gives clues to your personality

              - your level of ambition, enthusiasm, sincerity, and professionalism

              - your attention to detail (does your letter have grammar, spelling, or typographical errors?)

              - your qualifications and experience relevant to the position you’re applying for



Advice for a good cv and cover:

Write something in cover letter and remain something for cv so that the person forced to check your cv.
