Daniel Said:

Should I write a cover letter for my resume if I am not mailing the resume in? First Job, nothing big.?

We Answered:

It is always advisable to include a cover letter with your submitted resume. A resume is a summary of your work experiences and skills that you acquired along the way. For somebody new, you may opt to make use of a functional resume format that focuses more on skills and competencies rather than work experiences. You may have done volunteering jobs or community work where you learned or acquired a certain skill that will be applicable to the new job you are applying now. Think also of part-time work that you've done and school projects or commitments where you've shown your reliablity or leadership skills.

Not everything can be written in a resume, and that is where a cover letter comes in useful and handy. In your cover letter, avoid repeating all details already stated in your resume. Rather, point out why you are a suitable candidate for the job and what you can bring to the company in terms of skill and attitude. You may also include other details relevant to the job that are not in your resume or highlight key competencies that are required in performing the job. Include where you learned of the job opening and why you are interested in that position.

Johnny Said:

When submitting a resume, what are you supposed to write in the cover letter?

We Answered:

It's partially for them to see a sample of your creative/business writing but think of it as an introduction to your resume. Your resume is a summary of your experience only. On your cover letter you can elaborate on your work history, talk about your work ethic etc.
