While your resume lists out your qualifications, your cover letter lets you talk about why you are right for the job and how you can add value to the company.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Why do you need a cover letter? <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When you engage yourself in the job search process, there are many different points of contact you come across. You may not realise it, but how you communicate with each one of them is crucial to the decision about whether or not you ultimately land the job. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Writing a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundit.in\/career-advice\/sample-cover-letters-for-an-internship-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"cover letter for your job\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">cover letter for your job<\/span><\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> application is one such important aspect. You may wonder why writing a cover letter for your job application is even necessary since you have already covered everything in your resume. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A simple regular mail addressing the receiver should suffice, right? Wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.monsterindia.com\/cmsimages\/1564125516.jpg\" alt=\"How to write a cover letter for your job application\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Your subject line and cover letter are the first things that the receiver sees in their inbox. Whereas, your resume is attached inside the mail and only accessible once the mail is actually opened. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is by means of an impressive and convincing cover letter that you lead them to click on your resume. Remember this is your first impression on your potential employer and therefore, needs to be well crafted.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Here are Cover Letter Samples for your Job Application.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cover Letter Sample 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/media.foundit.in\/career-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Job-Application-Sample.png\" alt=\"Job Application Sample\" class=\"wp-image-22460\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In the above cover letter sample, both paragraphs address different points.
