The Cover Letter

When - A cover letter introduces your resume when you are not there to do so.

How - Mail or email a concise and dynamic introduction of your resume; see samples below.

Why - Some employers want to see your writing style and expect the cover letter may be a better
          indicator if this than your resume.

         - It is polite and some employers really like them.
